Notes

Dec 23, 2017
Did not felt like I had hoped so I did not use them for my swap. Might use them as coasters, though.

Making ornaments for a couple of swaps I am participating in this holiday season.

I am using lower quality yarn because it felts better. I have read that white yarn does not felt so this will be an experiment. The pattern uses white yarn so maybe it won’t really matter when it’s done.

I would say this is a very easy pattern for a beginner knitter except for the DPNs. They can be a little clumsy for a beginner, but worth learning.

Video showing joining in the round using DPNs.
