Avoiding mistakes when knitting

When knitting with bobbles, some common mistakes can occur, but they can easily be avoided:

• Uneven tension: Make sure that the thread tension remains even to achieve an even stitch pattern.
• Accidentally dropping stitches: Check your work regularly to make sure that no stitches are dropped unnoticed.
• Front and back confusion: Mark the front of your project to avoid confusion.

Another helpful tip is to always make a swatch. This will help you check your tension and ensure that your finished project has the correct measurements.

Care tips for the finished loop

To ensure the lifespan and beauty of your finished loop, you should follow a few care tips:

• Washing: Hand washing is recommended, especially for delicate materials such as wool. Use a mild detergent.
• Drying: Let the loop dry flat on a towel to avoid deformation. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Storage: Store the loop in a cool, dry place to prevent moths and mold growth. If necessary, use lavender sachets or cedar wood to keep moths away.

With these tips and tricks, nothing stands in the way of a successful knitting project with Bobbel. Have fun knitting!
