Seaweed Wrap MIDNIGHT KNITTER
using one skein of Crystal Palace Big Net, knit this cute little wrap for your little girl!

it's sized for a petite 5 year old, and i'm pretty sure it will fit any little girl around 3-6 years old.  it is knit lengthwise, and if you get two skeins of Big Net, you can cast on more sts for a larger size! 

needles:  US 15
yarn:  Crystal Palace Big Net

abbreviations:
k = knit
sts = stitches

BEFORE YOU START:  save lengths of yarn for the tassels.  cut 12" lengths.  you'll need 24 of them.  and save 20" for the bow at the top that holds it together.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Using US 15 needles, cast on 20 sts
Row 1: k across
Row 2: k across
Row 3: k1, *wrap yarn twice around needle, k1*
Row 4: k across dropping wraps
Row 5: k across
Row 6: k across
Row 7: k1, *wrap yarn three times around needle, k1*
Row 8: k across dropping wraps

Repeat Rows 1 through 8 until you have enough yarn to bind off with.  Bind off.

 

FINISHING:

Tassles:  take two strands of the tassel lengths you already cut, fold in half and tie at the bottom of a gater row.  (or insert crochet hook at the bottom of a garter row, fold strands in half, and pull strands through loop)
