Lion Brand^® Velvetspun

GAUGE:

8 stitches + 18 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in ribbing stitch (knit 1, purl 1). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

SPECIAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR VELVETSPUN YARN
To maintain full plushness, a knot should be tied at the beginning of each skein and at both ends when joining yarn. Handle the yarn gently and do not unravel or re-use. A minimal amount of shedding is normal with this yarn.

FINISHING

Cut ribbon, leaving about 1 ½ inches [4 cm] extra, fold back and stitch in place. Turn scarf over, in the second eyelet from the other end, tie a bow and secure in the same way. Repeat at other end of scarf.
