There are six sizes to choose from and you’re sure to find one perfect for you! This project is a great opportunity to stretch your knitting muscles and learn new techniques. There will be German short rows with DS - double stitches, lace stitches, follow a chart, crochet cast on, tubular bind off, K2tog - knit two together, PSSO - pass slipped stitch over, SSK - slip slip knit. This is an adventurous intermediate to advanced knitting project. Proficient command of basic knitting skills is required.
