Designer's Tips

• Working with lightweight cotton yarn can strain your hands. Consider using a hook with an ergonomic handle, and be sure to take frequent breaks.

• Mark the right side of your work with a removable stitch marker. • When working front and back panels, weave in cut ends of yarn into stripes of the same color on the wrong side of work.

• Before joining front and back panels, double-check that the last border row of each panel contains the same number of stitches.
