The download includes
2 illustrated PDF files incl. knitting chart.
A basic knitting course is not included.
These
knitting skills are required:
Cast on and bind off stitches, knitting in rows and in rounds with a set of double-pointed needles, knit and purl stitches, increases from the bar between stitches and/or with a yarn over, knit stitches together through the back loop.
Overall, the pattern is quite simple and manageable even for advanced beginners.
Confident handling of the
set of double-pointed needles is required for the wrist warmers.
The triangular shawl and wrist warmers shown here are knitted with a warm yarn, but they can
also be made a bit more summery with a cotton yarn or similar.
