Notes

Large Bobble

Increased base to 84 stitches instead.
Used 39g Forest Heather.

Small Beaded

Forest Heather. Crocheted base instead of knitting because it was easier and sturdier. I crocheted a circle the usual way up to the correct number of stitches, but followed the rest of the pattern as written.

Large Fair Isle

Lost Lake Heather, Oyster Heather. Crocheted bottom, otherwise followed pattern.

Large Beaded

Lost Lake Heather. Knit top down instead and did 6 increases in each increase round.

Purled Christmas Tree

Used Purled Christmas Tree pattern for large tree. Oyster Heather.

Overall Thoughts

I don’t think this pattern was worth $6. It wasn’t particularly well written and I had issues with knitting the bobbles as written (they kept going to the back side of the work when knitted as written). Oh well.
