Step-by-Step-Instructions
Yarn
Use a heavier yarn like Sport 2/7 and a thinner yarn like Petit 2/30, Kitty, Cristal or Estilo.
Choose yarns that when knitted together (which they will on the solid parts of the design) – they knit easily.
Tensions 9 – 10.2 depending on the yarn you choose.
Amounts
- Heavier yarn – 2 cones ( you should have some left over)
- Thinner yarn – 1 cone (it has a lot more yardage than the heavier yarns)
