Then sew the magnetic closure inside about 3 cm from the upper edge to the front of the back piece. Sew the handle from the outside to the sides with a double twist.
Knitting tension:
Do a stitch test! Knit a 12 x 12 cm piece in the pattern of your chosen model. Then count out stitches and rows in the range 10 x 10 cm. If there are fewer stitches than indicated in the instructions, knit harder or take thinner needles (½ to full needle size). If you have counted more stitches: Try to knit more loosely or use thicker needles. Please note: knitting works differently. Therefore, the sample of stitching on the banderoles of wool should not be considered as binding. Moreover, these are always created on the basis of smooth right. For a perfect job, therefore, the stitch test in the desired pattern is a must.
