I absolutely love the colours of this yarn a great mix of pinks, green, orange, blue and shades in between. It's definitely a show stopper at yarn shows! It's a heavier yarn than a double knit so has a little bit more weight to it.
How do I make the Zig Zags?
The stitch is the ‘granny’ stitch which is groups of 3 trebles and to create the zig zag or chevron effect you need to change the direction of the row. Roughly speaking this is done by placing 3 chains between 2 groups of trebles to make one of the angles. The other angle is made by working 3 trebles together (a cluster) then working the same again with a 4ch gap between. The instructions will explain it in more detail.
The finished size is approximately - size Small 108 x 120cm and Medium 108cm x 160cm
