DesignEtte Knitting Kit Chinese Lanterns 100 Percent Mercerized Graphite Egyptian Yarn Cotton Medium No-s-9114

As soon as you open your kit from DesignEtte you will find the pattern leaflet for 'Chinese Lanterns' on top of the yarn and accessories which have been carefully wrapped in black silk paper. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly we have removed labels from the balls of yarn. Instead there is a label inside the top of the box where you will find all the information you will need about the shade and dye lot of the yarn included in your kit. The knitting skill level of this kit is designated as “Advanced” - aimed at knitters with some experience and estimated to take 40 hours to make. Less experienced knitters should expect to take a few hours longer. This delightful fabric has a raw Nordic look when knitted in a heavy winter cotton. The lace trellis, with its natural bias tendency, is held together with small cables which twist first to the left and then to the right. The pattern is not particularly complicated but does take a while to get to grips with, hence being in the category ‘Advanced'. It is a pattern that could be an interesting next step for Intermediate knitters who want to advance their skills. Before you begin to work the garment, it is essential to work a tension swatch to establish the right size of needles for your work. The correct tension will ensure the best results possible in your finished garment. If you have too many stitches to 10cm then you need to use a larger size, if you have too few stitches then use a smaller needle. Join all your seams using mattress stitch remembering that the fabric is flexible so be careful not to sew too tightly and to keep the stitching fairly loose.Sew the DesignEtte Woven label into your finished garment.DesignEtte translates as “design” and “female”. Show that you are proud of the knitting and crochet traditions created by generations of women when wearing your finished project made with your own fair female hands.
