Application of Rico Design Baby Classic Glitz DK
Cast on with 4 mm needles and work in your preferred stitch pattern. The 165 m length per ball is sufficient for a pair of baby booties or a small hat. For larger projects such as blankets or cardigans, plan for multiple balls and knit a gauge swatch first to ensure the right fabric density.

It is a glitter-effect yarn designed for baby knitting projects such as booties, hats, blankets, and small garments. The DK weight and 4 mm needle gauge make it suitable for knitters of all experience levels.
The yarn is a blend of polyacryl and polyamide (PA), with a polyester content of 4 %. This combination provides a soft hand feel, good durability, and a subtle glitter finish that withstands repeated washing.
Machine wash at 30 °C. The glitter finish is integrated into the yarn rather than coated, so it does not shed or fade with regular washing. Lay flat to dry to preserve the shape of knitted items.
The yarn is designed for 4 mm needles. Using the recommended gauge ensures the correct fabric density and drape for baby items. Always knit a gauge swatch before starting a project.
Each 50 g ball contains 165 m of yarn. A pair of baby booties or a small hat typically requires one ball. For larger projects such as blankets or cardigans, calculate the total yardage needed and purchase additional balls accordingly.
