Pond Lily Set

Product Description

These designs were worked up for my lovely daughter, who is obsessed with all things frog right now. These designs are quite easy and looks so fun when completed. Both work up quite quickly due to the thickness of the yarn. These pattern is suitable for an intrepid beginner.

Beanie Details:

Sizes: Infant (Baby, Toddler, Child) (Small, Medium, Large) (X Large, 2X Large) to fit an actual head circumference of 13” (14”, 16”, 18”) (20”, 21”, 22”) (23”, 24”)/33 (35.5, 40.5, 45.5) (51, 53.5, 56) (58.5, 61) cm

Techniques: Basic decreases, picking up stitches, knitting in the round, Kitchener stitch, and i-cord making.

Shawl Details:

* Lap Blanket size will need an additional 60”+/152.5+ cm cable to change to when the work gets too bulky for the shorter cables. You may join several lengths of interchangeable needle cables if you do not have a super long cable.
