Safety statement: When knitting, always prioritize safety by using sharp needles with caution, keeping your workspace clear of distractions, and taking breaks to avoid repetitive strain injuries. If you experience any discomfort, stop knitting and consult a healthcare professional. Always double-check your stitches before using your knitted item, especially if intended for children, and ensure all loose ends are securely fastened to prevent choking hazards.
