SKILL LEVEL : Intermediate

SKILLS NEEDED : Work in the round with dpn or Magic loop, Fisherman’s Rib, other techniques described below in text.

GAUGE : 24 stitches and 58 rounds = 10 cm/4 in. over Fisherman’s Rib in the round. For best results, be sure to get the recommended gauge.

When counting rounds of Fisherman’s Rib to check gauge, each visible stitch in a knitted column represents two rounds worked: one round in which the stitch was worked as K1b or p1, and the next rnd in which the st was worked as a k1 or P1b. This means 10 visible sts in a column represent 20 rnds.

SIZES : S (M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). Sample shown in Size M, 110 cm/43.25in. Bust, worn with 18.5 cm / 7.25in. ease.

IMPORTANT

As with all hand-dyed yarns (and commercial in many cases), dark colors can/will bleed, especially blues and reds. We take a great care to rinse our hand dyed yarns more than one time.

However, we recommend that you pre-wash the mini skeins before starting your project OR knit a small swatch and do a color test.

For this reason and if you wish us to wind the skeins, we will not be winding the mini skeins but only the Vanilla skeins.

ENJOY!
