Top knit tip

When switching between two yarns for narrow stripes as on the Bow hanger you can save a lot of time by carrying your yarn up the side of the work, meaning fewer ends to sew in later. It’s not possible to do this for wide stripes or where the colours are too far apart like on the Heart hanger, so ensure you leave long enough yarn tails to weave in securely and neatly.
