CHA CHA

Instructions: Open up hank and put on a secure surface or a yarn swift. Wrap yarn around the label, keeping yarn flat so ribbon is not folded or twisted. This will make knitting with Cha Cha yarn easy. Place ribbon on left side of work. Holding ribbon with open boxes on top, fold end of ribbon over towards front and overlap two boxes in a row. Hold ribbon on backside of knitting as if on a knit row. Place point of Rt. needle into first stitch on left needle. Pick up top edge of open boxes of folded Cha Cha, from back to front of boxes, and pull through to knit the stitch. Repeat for next stitch across. Each stitch for balance will be top of single box only across the row. Turn work and repeat for desired rows, stopping 2sts before the end of last row. Cut through center of ribbon at 5th open box. Fold ribbon forward over itself to line up 2 boxes in a row. Work last two boxes through both top edges of boxes to hem. If working Rev. Stock St., first row will be knit and second row will be purl. All ruffles will be on one side and will be very full and thick. Click here for a u-tube video on working with this yarn

FRIVOLA

Giant pom poms with a bit of glitter strung along a binder string. From the Mondial Collection,this yarn is,worked on a large needle and knits very quickly because you are only knitting the chain between the Pom Poms.You don’t pull the Pom Poms through.Make a quick scarf on #11 needle with 2 skeins of yarn,and knit in garter stitch. The reason that you knit in garter stitch is that pom pom poms will be on both sides. Cast on row is easier if you use a small needle, Make a slip knot close to the left edge if the string between the fist and second pom pom. from the end and put loop on the needle. Cast on one additional stitch (2 stitches) using the thumb method . Skip Pom Pom and and work 2 stitches next chain. 4 stitches total. for a narrow scarf. (scarf will be 3.5 inches wide x 58 inches long) For a wider scarf use 3 skeins. Repeat cast on stitches between poms poms to get the desired width.6 -8sts makes a nice 5” - 6" wide scarf, After cast oing on change to #11 needles and knit every row only with the chain. Knit until desired length. Bind off, knit first two stitches pass the first over the second, knit the next stitch and pass the first over the second again.. repeat until all stitches are bound off with on loop remaining on the needle snip yarn and carefully pull through remaining loop. Quick and fun!
