Multa kysyttiin Ravelryssa Möökö-villatakin ohjetta englanniksi ja kun sellaista ei minun tietojeni mukaan ole, niin kysyin kirjoittajalta saisinko kääntää ohjeen englanniksi blogiini. Myöntävä vastaus tuli ja tässä käännös :) Alkuperäinen ohje täällä.
-----
I was asked in Ravelry if this Möökö pattern is somewhere in English and because I didn't know of a English version I asked the writer if I could translate it in to my blog. She said it was okay, so here goes. The original pattern can be found here.
-----
The
Size is about 80cm-98cm So it's for a 1-year-old to 2-year old
depending on you're own gauge. The original pattern writer had a very
loose gauge.
The
original yarn was was a Finnsh yarn called Kelo from Novita, it is a Super Bulky yarn knitted and crocheted with a size 8mm / Us 11 Needle. In this pattern the hook used was 8mm / Us L.
If you want to find a yarn as close as possible to the original, check the weight and yardage. The original yardage of the skein is 98 yards (90 meters) and the weight is 100 grams (3.53 ounces).
I'm using the American terms of crocheting.
Rs = right side
Ws = Wrong side
Ch = chain
st = stitch
sts = stitches
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
