Note - Correct tension/gauge is essential for a successful handknit.

ABBREVIATIONS

St/s - stitch/es, K - knit, RS - right side, WS - wrong side, garter st - every row knit, beg - begin/ning, M1 - make one st by picking up loop that lies before next st, place on left hand needle and knit into back of loop, rep - repeat, cont - continue.

SPECIAL NOTE

Work the thumb method when casting on sts rather than using a pair of needles, ensure that each stitch has a pom pon. When knitting make sure that on each stitch a pom pon is left at the back of the work, ie. work each stitch between each pom pon on the yarn.
Before casting/binding off, trim very carefully each alternate pom pon off main yarn.
