ABOUT THE YARN

Rico Essentials Alpaca Blend

Chunky is a luxurious yet afordable

blend of acrylic, wool and alpaca. It

costs £3.79 per 50g (90m) ball from

01409 404010, lovecrafts.com

Cabling is the process

of crossing one group of

stitches over another group

of stitches to create an

attractive, textured efect.

When working with cables,

it is important to remember

that if you hold your

stitches to the back of your

work they will lean to the

left and if you hold them

to the front of your work

they will lean to the right.
