This unbelievably soft wool is made from shrink treated Merino Lambs Wool. It offers the wonderful qualities of traditionally spun wool, but with the convenience of machine washing and drying.

Pattern Instructions

Skill: Intermediate

  1. Tip 1

    Create a foundation chain of a few stitches. Your pattern will tell you how many. Join the beginning to the chain with the end using a slip stitch. The ring you create will be your center.

  2. Tip 2

    At the beginning of your round, make a few chains equivalent to the stitch you will be using (1 for sc, 2 for hdc, 3 for dc, etc . . .). When working into the center ring, make 2 to 3 times as many stitches as you did in your foundation chain, or as many as your pattern dictates.

  3. To finish a round, slip stitch into the top chain of your beginning chain. Then you are ready to begin your next round.
