"What an easy way to create a classy design for the sophisticated decorator that wants something elegant and simple. I love this idea for any room of the home. You can use them for the holidays or to decorate a spare bedroom for the winter on a budget. What a fun way to spend little and make a big impact."

"My all time favorites are the and dye but lately it's been these iron on appliques on t-shirts that am into. They are the easiest crafts on this list."

"This is exactly what I need for this cold months ahead. I will try using a chunky yarn and hope it looks as amazing as this one does."

"I love that I know the basic stitches in the pattern. I probably need to learn the V stitch but it's worth it. It looks so elegant."

"T-shirt yarn is so beautifully effortlessly simple to use. It would make such a nice bracelet if you weave it well. I need to find some charms."

Hotmomaknitter,I was unsure about the "2H ins (6 cm)" insyruction, as well. I think it means 2 and Half inches. Since 1 inch is = to 2.5 cm, then 2.5 inches would be approximately 6 cm.

Hotmomaknitter,

what does 2H ins?

I would also like to know what M1 stands for. I t would be helpful to show what the abbreviations stand for.

M1 is abbreviation for "make 1" means you must increase one stiche

I just finished knitting The Great American Afghan, which has a "M1" or make 1 stitch in it. In the one I did, it's just a simple increase - to "M1" using a left-slanting increase, you insert the needle front to back between the last stitch knitted and the first stitch on the left needle. Then you knit, twisting the strand by working into the loop at the back of the needle. It's easy to do, and it makes a nice increase.

what does the instruction (M1) mean in this pattern. help would be appreciated.thanks

I need to understand what the instruction (M1) means in this pattern. Your help would be appreciated.
