Top knit tips

When you introduce your second ball of yarn, try to join it in at the beginning of the row, so you have a neat finish. To do this, insert your RH needle into the first stitch of the row. Lay the new yarn over the top of the tail of the first ball, then start knitting. Remember to weave in the ends to create a secure join.

You could either choose a lining fabric that is a similar colour to your yarn, or opt for a contrasting material that will look really striking.
