Like many others, I find peace when knitting. My Wish For You is a simple doily, with the word Peace repeated three times around a “fancy” center. Knit using crochet cotton and fine needles it is perfect for mounting on a store-bought metal ring or embroidery hoop, and embellished with small fairy lights. It also can serve as a doily, or knit with a heavier yarn makes a great art piece to mount on a hula hoop and decorate a fence.
Sizes: 12-inch circumference, adjustable depending on yarn weight and needle sizes chosen.
Yarn: Knit Picks Curio #10 thread, 100% cotton, 721 yds/100 grams, shown in Whisker
Needles: US 00 (1.75 mm) dpns and/or circular needles for preferred method of knitting small circumferences in the round
1.75mm crochet hook
Notions: Large eyed tapestry needle for weaving in ends, 6 stitch markers (one unique for beginning of round), 12 inch embroidery or 14-18 inch metal hoop for mounting, 14 inch square of dark fabric, and 3.3 meter 20 bulb fairy lights (optional)

Notes
Knit from the center out
Crochet bind off
At the beginning rather than using a stitch marker to denote the beginning of the round, we suggest just using y our yarn tail.
Do not tighten the center until ready to mount.
For a larger hoop 10 extra rnds are worked between Charts D and E, noted as Extra Rnds in Chart and written instructions
