Product Description
The number of stitches cast on can be adjusted due to looser knitters. This is my first pay pattern. So be kind. All the stitch work is explained and can be looked up on you tube or your favorite video stitch tutorial site. This pattern is for an experienced beginner. Those folks are familiar with lace work and knitting in the round. The yarn used is In this pattern DK weight. I recommend a variegated or striping yarn. It looks really cool in this pattern. You will have to adjust the pattern to the yarn you want to use if you don’t use DK. I highly recommend if you have an interchangeable needle set so that you can just change the tip on your right needle.
