Knitting Needles - Size 9 (5.5 mm)

Work case in stockinette stitch.

This is felted which means you need to wash by machine on a hot wash/cold rinse cycle with detergent and several pieces of clothing to agitate. To felt additionally, dry by machine on a regular setting until almost dry. Results may vary based on water temperature, length of the cycle, and agitation provided in the washing machine. Cast on more stitches for a wider cozy and knit fewer rows for a shorter one.

Sew side and end together as well as weave in ends prior to felting as it will be very thick and difficult to sew afterward.

Case is closed by tucking flap in to hold glasses.
