Notes

Gauge

The Spaghetti yarn balls are each unique, being made from the off cuts of t-shirting fabrics. There may be gauge variants between the yarns, so you may need to work with 2 threads with some colours where one yarn is much thinner.

Changing Colours

Do not cut thread when changing colours, instead draw up towards the start of your knitting so it floats on the edge, with a bit of slack in the thread so it doesn't pucker on the one side.

NOTE: This pattern is written in British English. All measurements in charts and instructions are in cm. For conversion from centimetres to inches please divide by 2.5cm. Please be aware that there are different terms for crocheting and knitting in American and British English, if in doubt, we've included a list of common abbreviations.
Please use only the yarn specified. Another yarn is likely to yield different results. Quantities are approximate as knitting styles may vary between knitters. Check the ball bands to ensure all yarn is from the same dye lot.

Tuck the threads that are floating on the edge of the knitting underneath to the back of the mat, and darn them into the back with an extra thread of yarn. Darn in all loose threads.
