What you need to know

Jo Allport reveals this brilliant effect!

This simple cover-up is a great way to practise a new stitch as there’s no shaping. The body is made up of a rectangle which is folded in half, then you pick up the stitches for the front and back edging. Take a look at our photo tutorial (right), where designer Jo shows you all the techniques you need to know to create star stitch.
