DESIGNERS NOTE
· Knit with doubled yarn (use 2 strands of yarn, each from its own skein, held together like a single thread). Before you begin knitting, string 110 beads or more onto the doubled yarn (extra beads are easily removed later). When starting the final two skeins, string on all remaining beads onto the doubled yarn. When a bead is required, slide one up to sit firmly between last stitch and the next.
STITCH GLOSSARY
fb: Knit into the front & back of the same stitch. k2tog: Knit two stitches together. sl 1: Slip 1st stitch knitwise (into the front of the stitch). This will twist the stitch and provide a firmer edge. ssk: Slip 2 sts individually knitwise. Insert LH needle into these 2 sts from left to right and knit them together.
GENERAL WASHING AND BLOCKINGINSTRUCTIONS:
Leave long tails at completion or on any knots and weave these in before washing. Knots have a tendency to ITEM# P-LW625 Exclusive design: Ann Young for @ 2014 Colinton Australia All Rights Reserved Starlight in doubled Lace Fill sink with lukewarm water. Dilute mild detergent solution before submerging garment and allow it to soak. We recommend using Unicorn Fiber Wash. Minimize agitation as this may felt the fibers. Rinse thoroughly under tap until suds are eliminated. If there is concern over residual dyes left in the yarn, we recommend adding some white household vinegar tc the wash water to complete dye absorption. ·We highly recommend adding a 10-minute soak in Unicorn Fiber Rinse solution diluted in cool water. It helps to remove static and protect the garment. Gently squeeze out excess water in a towel and proceed to block width to the garment. Use pins to create an even edge in between if needed. The stitching will become very smooth and even. Allow to completely dry before unpinning.
