Notes

Used Magic Loop, knitted from top down.

CO 48 stitches and then did 3 braids:

Knit 2 rounds in main colour then followed the End of May Mittens chart for the flower, spaced it with a few diamonds then did another flower followed by 2 rounds of MC.

Love the overall case but disappointed in my choice of contrast colour as it gets “lost” in MC.

Kitchenered the base closed and lined with cotton fabric.

Did a 3 stitch i-chord using 4 ply contrast colour to make the closure.

Thank you to Mum2grls for her inspiration and advice!
