Yarn 4- 8 oz skeins. Add 1 skein of yarn for larger sizes (Brand name and color is your preference.)

(Note: if you use Caron brand yarn, you need to add 10 stitches to key plate three to achieve proper size. The yarn knit is tight.

If you use Fashion Knit yarn (Sold at Ames & Wal-Mart) deduct 10 stitches from XXL pattern. Once washed this yarn loosens up allot.) Red heart yarn seems to work best, and most accurate to pattern size.)

Knitting Sizing Instructions: For larger sizes add 8 stitches to arms with of sleeve, front and back of sweater. For smaller size decrease 8 stitches from pattern for each size smaller, from sleeve, front, and back

Cable Instructions:

Key things to remember when doing cables on the bond machine

1. To prevent damage to needles, place 4 needles on each side of cable stitch to working position, knit slowly.

2. Space minimum 4 to 6 rows between cables.

3. Mark stitch placement with masking tape, this makes it easier to remember where the cable stitch starts and stops. (I place dots on the needle bed, with magic markers, when finished they can be wiped clean with non-acetone nail polish remover. this does not leave any glue residue, like masking tape tend to do.

Key plate# 3

Approx. 90 gold tone pony beads. 9 MM

Beading Instructions:

Beading is simple, knit at least three rows more than you need before you place bead, drop stitch off needle, insert bead onto crochet hook, then slip crochet hook through loose stitch, and latch up as you would for ribbing. Then knit row.

Always place bead a minimum of 2 stitches from needle bed, to ensure easy knitting, any closer will catch the bead on the carriage, causing damage to needles.

Note When using shaped pony beads, hearts, dogs, cats etc. Remember, to place the bead upside down on the crochet hook. Once knitted in it will be right side up on other side of knitting.

When sweater is complete. Flip inside out, and hand stitch an x across behind each bead. This pushes the beads out toward the front of the knitting.
