As soon as you open your kit from DesignEtte you will find the pattern leaflet for 'Mi Lee Bolero' on top of the yarn and accessories which have all been carefully wrapped in black silk paper In an effort to be more 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 yarn 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 “Easy” - aimed at the average knitter looking for some challenge and is estimated to take approximately 20 hours to make With four yarns held together and using needles 7mm the project is quick to work up Sewing on the beads will add approximately 3 hours on top of the knitting time This bolero can be knitted flat and sewn up or knitted in one seamless piece with the sleeves worked in rounds and the body back and forth on circular needles as if on straight 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 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 Box Contains The knitting kit ‘Mi Lee Bolero' in size M/L, colour: Bright Red includes yarn DesignEtte Country Wool (300g pure wool), DesignEtte Andrea di Bonaiuto (150g 70 % super kid mohair, 30% silk), a Nordic eco labelled pattern booklet (with 4 crochet and 4 knitting patterns), a leaflet pattern for ‘Mi Lee Bolero’, 2 pack.
