As soon as you open your kit from DesignEtte you will find the pattern booklet “BOOK 2 DesignEtte Denmark” on top of the yarn which has 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 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 and estimated to take approximately 30 hours to make The pattern is not particularly complicated using only simple colour changes and a combination of knit and purl techniques plus one simple cable pattern You will enjoy creating this beautiful garment which is knitted in the round from the bottom up The striking colour and texture effect is created by holding four strands of yarn together throughout 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 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
