Questions about this pattern
Is this really a first-project knit?
Yes — it is the simplest pattern in the shop: two rectangles, knit every row, and the making-up is three steps.
What yarn do I need?
Any DK scrap, about 5 g — it is a lovely way to try a special yarn you only have a little of.
Can I make it bigger for a gift bow?
Yes — the pattern notes the simple rule: wider cast-on, longer rectangle, same construction.
