Knitting and Crochet Project Guide

Use 10mm circular needles, but if you don't have circular needles or don't like using them, you
can use two straight 10mm needles and stitch the side seam together, using mattress stitch
(full instructions are at the end).
The cosy measures approximately 21 or 22 inches around.
Important: Some people have commented that their cosy turns out smaller. Tension with
Sirdar Softie and 10mm needles working in stocking stitch should be: 9 sts to 10 cm 12 rows
to 10 cm If your tension is tighter, please use larger needles.
Instructions for circular needles:
Using Big Softie and 10mm needles, loosely cast on 48 or 50 stitches. Round 1: k Round 2:
[k1, p1] to the end Round 3: k Round 4: [p1, k1] to the end
Repeat these four rounds until you have approximately 2 metres of yarn left. Cast off loosely.
Instructions for straight needles:
Using Big Softie and 10mm needles, cast on 49 or 51 stitches loosely.
Row 1: k Row 2: [k1, p1] to the last stitch, k1 Row 3: k Row 4: [p1, k1] to the last stitch, p1
Repeat these four rows until you have approximately 2 metres of yarn left. Cast off loosely.
Sew the side seam using mattress stitch.
