You could also convert the schematics for a standard or mid-gauge machine if you are experienced. Marianne has recommended certain yarns but you can choose your own favourites. Added to this, there are now links to Marianne’s instructional videos for the more involved techniques in the process.

Included are sizes SM/L/XXL. A table of contents allows you to click to your required pattern size immediately. This pattern is written in the new ‘easy to understand’ format which makes your job easy. Just check out the Abbreviations chart. If you need another size then use the schematics to convert.
