St/s - stitch/es, K - Knit, RS - right<br />
side, WS - wrong side, garter st -<br />
every row knit, beg - begin/ning.<br />
SPECIAL NOTE<br />
For cast on - Work the thumb<br />
method when casting on sts rather<br />
than using a pair of needles, ensure<br />
that each stitch has a pom pon.<br />
When knitting make sure that on<br />
each stitch a pom pon is left at the<br />
back of the work, ie. work each stitch<br />
between each pom pon on the yarn.<br />
For cast/bind off - knit into front<br />
of st, then slip the remainder of the<br />
st from left h<strong>and</strong> needle onto right<br />
h<strong>and</strong> needle, thus creating 2 sts.<br />
Repeat this for all sts across row,<br />
thus doubling the amount of sts,<br />
then cast/bind off sts loosely in usual<br />
manner.<br />
