important notice
Unless yarn specified is used, SAPROTEX cannot accept responsibility for the finished work.
Owing to printing restrictions the colour reproduction is matched as closely to the yarn as possible.
The quantity of yarn is based on average requirements and is therefore an estimate.
The instructions are given for the smallest size, with the larger sizes in brackets; where only one figure is given, it applies to all sizes.
SAVE TIME, TAKE TIME, CHECK TENSION.
For best results it is essential to obtain the correct tension. If there are too few stitches on your test swatch, use (a) thinner (hook) needles; if there are too many stitches, use (a) thicker (hook) needles.
It is advised to read through the pattern before commencing to gain an understanding of how the pattern is worked.
