There is some very simple stitching involved, but don’t worry if you’re not experienced at sewing! This tutorial guides you through the process step-by-step, with lots of color photos to guide you through the process. The stitching details are done with sport or fingering yarn (UK 4ply) - you’ll need approx 4 or 5 meters of each color.
