There are many tutorials on youtube (just type red heart sashay in the search box) using this type of yarn. Easy to follow. I made one & was so quick to finish & beautiful! Have not attempted the crochet method yet, looked complicated! lol but this knitted method is so easy even non-knitters can prob do it!

I can't seem to envision the instructions with this yarn. Could you provide a couple of pictures of the knitting process.
