Liquorice Allsorts (pattern)

Description

The pattern includes instructions for both the round and rectangular liquorice allsorts. Both ornaments are worked in the round, starting with Judy's Magic Cast-On and finished using Kitchener stitch to graft the live stitches together.

Yarn, gauge, and recommended needles

As gauge is not critical for these ornaments, you can skip knitting a gauge swatch and use any yarn and needle size you prefer.
Choose your needle size based on the yarn's yardage (metres per gram). The thicker the yarn and the larger the needles, the larger your finished ornament will be.

Each pattern includes a small table with suggested needle sizes based on the yarn's yardage.

Materials

• Yarn of your choice in black, blue, pink, white, yellow, orange, and brown.
• Circular needles for casting on (optional).
