SilhouetteTop

Difficulty level: 2-3⭐️ out of 5⭐️ (mainly because of german shortrows along the sleeves)

Description of difficulty levels

 

1⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 1⭐️ are suitable for beginners, there are help videos and no difficult techniques.

 

2⭐️ out of 5⭐️

Patterns marked with 2⭐️ are suitable for the slightly experienced knitter who still doesn't want difficult techniques but a project with a bit more detail.

 

4 and 5⭐️ out of 5⭐️

I don't yet have patterns that complicated or full of difficult techniques if these levels apply. They are simply there so that the knitter can put the degrees of difficulty into perspective.

Hand wash at around 40 degrees (Celsius). Add wool soap. Don't let the work soak in the water. Dry flat on top of a towel, preferably with heated floors. When the work is almost dry, you can place something heavy on the edges, such as a book, to prevent them from "curling".

Remember that your project will take its final shape after being washed, as the stitches are allowed to become more uniform. At the same time, you also wash the excess color out of the material that your project is knitted in. You can always read more about it online or search for videos that can help you with the process.
