0:1 Introduction

0:8 Hints & Tips

To get the stripe effect I have on my wrap, you can knit and cut the yarn at the interval of your choice or if you find it easier to knit as one piece, cut and join the yarn first. I used my yarn in random lengths of stripes. However if you wished to have the yarn in two row stripes I worked out you would need to cut and join the yarn at approx. 115"/290cm intervals, joining by tying yarn in a small knot. You may then roll the yarn into a ball and work your main body using your very own custom made multi-coloured ball.

Fold down wide ribbed sides (inside-out so you sew on the inside) and sew along edges to secure. See pictures below.

6:2 Divisions for Needle Head Holders

Now sew down at the beginning of the main work/edge of ribbing and then at intervals of every 6 stitches to allow a space to secure the needle heads. See the pictures below (l used the blue-grey yarn to sew).

6:3 Needle Holders & Tie Cords

Now, attach the cords starting at the edge of the ribbing/start of the main work as in pictures. I would recommend marking the position of attachment so the work is even. Once the last sew-tacking is secured finish by sewing cord to the edge of the work by sewing. from end of main work/beginning of ribbing. Once all four cords are attached (see third picture below) you are ready to insert your needles and away you go!
