PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ARE ALL BASED ON THE CONTINENTAL KNITTING TECHNIQUE!

Never knitted before?
No problem, with our easy to follow instructions you’ll be on your way in no time!

Knitting tension.
Knitting tension is the number of stitches per cm. It will vary from person to person and depends on how you hold your needles and the yarn; the yarn quality and the needle size. We recommend that you knit a sample and measure your piece to see if your tension matches the tension in the pattern.

Pointed or circular needles.
You may knit with pointed needles, circular needles or double pointed needles. Use pointed needles to knit flat pieces to be sewn together afterwards, circular needles to knit “tube” pieces (i.e. jumpers with no side seams) and double pointed needles for smaller “tube” pieces like socks, sleeves and necks. All our needle sizes are indicated in mm, the higher the number, the thicker the needle. The size of the needle determines your knitting tension. Our needles come in bamboo, plastic and metal.
