NEEDLES
A pair 4.00mm (US 6), (UK 8) Knitting Needles
or size that gives correct tension/gauge.
MATERIALS
A Yarn Needle; A large bag of Polyfill.
TENSION/GAUGE
6 sts and 15 rows to 10 cms/4 ins over
garter st, using 4.00mm (US 6), (UK 8)
Knitting Needles.
Note - Correct tension/gauge is essential
for a successful handknit.
ABBREVIATIONS
St/s - stitch/es, K - Knit, RS - right side, WS
- wrong side, garter st - every row knit, beg begin/ning, cont - continue, rep - repeat.
SPECIAL NOTE
For cast on - Work the thumb method when
casting on sts rather than using a pair of
needles, ensure that each stitch has a pom
pom.
When knitting make sure that on each stitch
a pom pom is left at the back of the work, ie.
work each stitch between each pom pom on
the yarn.
For cast/bind off - knit into front of st, then
slip the remainder of the st from left hand
needle onto right hand needle, thus creating
2 sts. Repeat this for all sts across row, thus
doubling the amount of sts, then cast/bind off
sts loosely in usual manner.
CREATE
Using 4.00mm (US 6), (UK 8) Needles, cast
on 25 sts (see special note).
First Section - Knit 3 rows garter st (1st row
is WS).
Beg turnings - When turning, bring yarn
to front of work, slip next st onto right hand

this avoids holes in work.
