Check Mate by Karen Holdup

Check Mate

Requires 3 4mm needles - would recommend one long pair and one short pair; use same length needles when grafting the bottom triangles to the ribbing.
Uses two contrasting colours - I used Purple and Pink

Points of Frustration

  • Awkward grafting bottom triangles to ribbing
  • Instructions not very clear when transferring from written instructions to graph
  • Finished item is a bit big for my teapot, book doesn’t say what size teapots they were designed to fit.
