All Greek to you?



Instructions:

1 100 gr ball Iceland color 9660, violet
1 50 gr ball Nubbles color 404, celebration
16" circular needle, size 11
Double point needles, size 11

Accessories: Stitch markers, waste yarn, tapestry needle

"Using Nubbles, CO 24 sts. Join, being careful not to twist. Work in Stockinette Stitch (knit every round) for 2". Change to Iceland and work K1 P1 ribbing for 2". Change to stockinette stitch and work set-up round: K 12, pm, m 1, pm, K 12. Lower palm: K one round even, then work increase round: K to marker, sl marker, m 1, k to marker, m 1, sl marker, k to end of round. Continue in stockinette st, working increase round every other round 3 times more and ending with a plain round - [33 sts]. K to marker, remove marker, place next 9 sts on waste yarn for holding, remove marker, CO 1 st to bridge the gap, K to end of round - [25 sts]. Continue working even in stockinette st until piece measures 6" above ribbing.[...]"

And when you break the code, start understanding what it says and manage to transform it into action; you'll end up with two nice and warm woollen mittens.

It's a long time since I did any knitting; What are/is Nubbles? Sounds like a good name for a pet rabbit!

Nubbles is a type of yarn, but I agree that it would be a very suitable name for a bunny!
