Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you have a flat cutting surface and the appropriate needles for your chosen knit fabric, such as ballpoint or stretch needles. Always pre-wash your fabric to account for shrinkage before cutting your pattern pieces. When organizing your workspace, keep the instruction booklet separate from the pattern sheets to prevent accidental damage. For ongoing care of the finished Kira Knit Top, machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, and air dry flat to preserve the shape and elasticity of the knit fabric.
