Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

Exact gauge is not essential to this project.

NOTES:

Because of the nature of working with Speed Stix, achieving an exact gauge is not necessary for this project. Due to the nature of the fabric, gauge may vary throughout the knitting.

Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

RIGHT FRONT
Work as for Left Front.

BACK
Work across Right Front stitches and then Left Front sts−24 sts on needle. Work 18 rows in Garter stitch. Bind off loosely.

POMPOMS (make twelve 2” [5 cm] Pompoms and two 3” [7.5 cm] Pompoms)
Cut a strip of cardboard the size you want your Pompom to be. Wrap yarn around cardboard – the more wraps, the fuller your Pompom will be. Cut yarn leading to skein. Slide a doubled strand of yarn under center of wraps and knot. Clip loops; remove cardboard. Fluff Pompom and trim ends evenly. Use the ends of the knotted strand to attach Pompom.

Attach 10 smaller Pompoms across the Back edge and one smaller Pompom at each Front outer corner.

Make Front Ties by attaching the ends of the knotted strands of the two larger Pompoms at each Front inner corner, letting Pompoms hang.

FINISHING
Weave in ends.
