YARN OPTIONS
Recommended: Pure wool
Wool is generally available around the world, in loads of wonderful colours. I recommend using pure, loosely spun wool for this project.
The two options shown in the photos are worked in The Petite Wool by WoolAndTheGang.
Alternative: Blowyarn
A thich blowyarn can give the same look as a loosely spun wool yarn. Make sure to do a gauge swatch before you begin knitting, though!
DIFFICULTY
DIFFICULTY: 1/5
This pattern is great for beginner knitters who want to begin using slightly more advanced techniques than the basic knits and purls.
The pattern offers detailed explanations of the entire process, and is generally clear and easily legible.
The pattern does contain abbreviations to certain words (k = knit, p = purl etc.) with a guide explaining the meaning of every abbreviation.
You can always check out the Unlucky Knits guides, if you need help along the way.
Please keep in mind that what some find difficult, you might find easy - and vice versa. The stated difficulty is an estimation based on the techniques needed and feedback from testknitters.
