Top knit tips

Before you sew your bunting together, lay out the hearts and ribbon to make sure that you are happy with the spacing.

If you are new to using stitch holders, don’t worry it couldn’t be easier! First, knit the number of stitches outlined in the pattern. Then, slip the specified number of stitches off your LH knitting needle and onto the holder. Make sure you don’t twist the stitches as you go. Once the stitches are on your holder you will be able to keep knitting until the time comes to return them.
