I’ve used Sirdar Snuggly yarn for this design. For the largest size, there is not a lot left over of colour A, so if you use a different brand yarn, you may need more than the 50g stated.

This pattern has been designed by myself so it is in UK terminology. It does not follow the usual ‘shop bought’ format., and is in multi-sized. There are 5 printed pages with clear and easy to follow instructions. All my patterns are tested by independent knitters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error free.

Although my patterns are strictly protected by copyright, which I ask you to respect, I am more than happy for any items made from my patterns to be sold.
