FAQs
What kind of yarn should I use?
The pattern is designed for use with Homespun Prism DK yarn. You can use other DK yarns, but the results may vary.
What if I don't understand a knitting term?
Consult online knitting dictionaries or tutorials. Many websites and videos explain common knitting terms.
Where can I find Homespun Prism DK yarn?
You can find this yarn at most craft stores or online retailers that sell knitting supplies.
Can I adjust the size of the accessories?
Yes, but you may need to adjust the number of stitches and rows. Always knit a gauge swatch before making changes.
What if my scarf is curling?
Blocking the scarf can help it lay flat. Make sure you are following the pattern's instructions correctly and that you have the right yarn.
How do I care for my finished items?

Troubleshooting
Pattern is unclear.
Re-read the instructions carefully. Consult online knitting resources for clarification of knitting terms or techniques. If the issue persists, contact King Cole customer support.

Re-knit a tension square. Adjust needle size until your gauge matches the pattern's gauge. This might require going up or down a needle size to adjust tension.
