Abbreviations:
St/s - stitch/es, K - Knit, RS - right side, WS - wrong
side, garter st - every row knit, beg - begin/ning.
K2tog - knit two stitches together.
Important tips:
For cast on - Work the thumb method when casting
on sts rather than using a pair of needles, ensure that
each stitch has a pom pom.
When knitting make sure that on each stitch a pom
pom is left at the back of the work, ie. work each
stitch between each pom pom on the yarn.
For cast off - knit into front of st, then slip the
remainder of the st from left hand needle onto right
hand needle, thus creating 2 sts. Repeat this for all sts
across row, thus doubling the amount of sts, then cast
off sts loosely in usual manner.
