Felting Instructions
Place washing machine on hottest setting with highest agitation. Put the tiara in with a small amount of detergent. Agitate for approximately 40 minutes, resetting the dial as needed. Check the shrinkage every 10 minutes until work measures 21 inches. (Note: The orginal length should be about 26 inches pre-felting. As you are felting, the band will initially lengthen.)
Explanations and Abbreviations

- Stockinette stitch is knitting one side of the work and purling the other side.
- K = Knit
- BO = Bind off
- K2tog = Knit two stitches together.
- SB = Slip bead. If you do not choose to use beads, ignore the SB and just knit the stitches in between decreases.
