Materials Needed: Tilli Tomas Plie in American Beauty ∞ Needles US 6 ∞ Scissors & Tapestry Needle
TilliTomas Plie is silk and wonderful and filled with loads of vibrant shades of red. One skein can make 2 Lehua. My FO was 25 grams, so 60 yards.
Gauge is always important no matter the size of what you are knitting, but for Lehua stitch count is more important than row. This pattern is 11 stitches every 2 inches on size 6 for side pieces in garter. The idea is to knit at a bit tighter gauge than intended.

You will use these stitches/techniques:
Garter
Slip Stitches
Yarn Overs
Double Yarn Overs
Dropping Yarn overs
Picking up 9 stitches (simple. painless. easy!)

This is a simple, fun, quick knit!
