What you need to know

Blow the cobwebs away with these quick-knit kites by Dawn Finney and see if you can get the decorated tails to flutter in the wind! Keep an eye on your tension to give a firm fabric, and if you’ve not knitted an i-cord before, this is a great project to give it a go. These kites are also perfect for appliqué onto projects; why PLUS not brighten up a blanket or transform plain cushions?
