ROWS/RANGS Even if you’ve never picked up a pair of knitting sticks before, we promise you’ll be able to whip up a Snood Operator in no time at all! Made from soft, chunky yarn on big needles, this stylish accessory is a fun and quick knit making it a perfect last-minute gift. When you make your swatch, make sure it is large enough for you to measure 10 cm/4” without including the stitches/rows closest to the edges (as these often have a slightly different tension). When you’re done swatching, simply unravel and re-use the yarn to start knitting your Snood Operator. APPROX. 28 CM/11” ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING 54CM/21” TENSION To ensure your knitting has the same measurements as the pattern, it is a good idea to make a tension swatch before you start knitting your project. A tension swatch is a small sample of your knitting where you count the stitches and rows and check them against the measurements (cm/in) given in the pattern. If you get MORE stitches/rows than the pattern’s tension, it means your knitting is tighter. If you get FEWER stitches/rows than the pattern, your knitting is looser. Sometimes, it works to knit tighter or looser to compensate. 5 STITCHES/MAILLES 10 17 GET READY FOR YOUR NEXT KNIT!
