Using this knitting kit is simple. First, get your knitting needles ready. Each month, when you receive your kit, take out the skein of Beanstalk Worsted and the printed pattern instructions. Follow the step - by - step instructions on the pattern to start knitting your blanket. As you work, make sure to keep your stitches even for a nice, smooth finish. Since the yarn is made of 100% acrylic, it's easy to care for. You can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry it on low to keep it fluffy. When storing your unfinished project or the finished blanket, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Also, be careful not to snag the yarn on sharp objects while knitting.
