DesignEtte Knitting Kit Broken Snowflakes100 Percent Green/White Wool Yarn Medium Large No-s-1116

As soon as you open your kit from DesignEtte, you will find the pattern leaflet for 'Broken Snowflakes' inside “BOOK 2 DesignEtte Denmark” placed on top of the yarn and accessories, which have all 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 “Intermediate” - aimed at the average knitter and estimated to take approximately 40 hours to make. The pattern contains stranded colour work (Fair Isle) using two colours on the Body and the Cuffs. It also uses beading technique. The sleeves are simpler being worked over basic stocking stitch with the stripe effect created by working purl rows on the right side of the fabric. The collar is worked in a simple rib pattern. 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 smaller needles. Knitting is a proven benefit to help with reducing stress, it is a wonderful activity for those practicing mindfulness. However, it is important to chose the right project for your current skill level to ensure you have the best possible experience. A project with a little bit of a challenge will help you keep your mind right there, in the moment. 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.
