Notes

Rough instructions, if you’re interested:

Cast on 50 stitches with size 7 needles (And I’m a tight knitter. Meaning my stitches are tight, not like “Man, that knitter is TIGHT!”)

Seed stitch (moss stitch) for 6 rows. Then switch to basket weave stitch (knit 5, purl 5 for 5 rows, then purl 5 knit 5 for 5 rows) for 3 rows of squares. Then I did stockinette stitch for about 4 inches, and then did two more blocks of basket weave stitch so that it wouldn’t curl too much on the edges. I went back to stockinette for another 4 inches before doing 4 sections of basket weave (yeah, yeah, I only did three rows on the other side, I’m aware) and then I did 6 rows of seed stitch and knit button holes (my first time!) for 4 buttons.

I used Lincraft Surprise Yarn, which is an acrylic yarn sent to me by way of winning a blog giveaway. I haven’t been able to find it online because it’s mostly an Australian company.
