These fairy castles unroll to reveal knitted pockets for your double pointed needles or crochet hooks! The roofs pop up and down because they are attached with elastic.

Sizes: mini castle & large castles

Yarns used:

CASTLE BASE: DK weight wool such as: Rowan Purelife British Sheep Breeds DK 50 g - 131 yds - 120 m, 100% wool, Brown 781 2 balls, OR Mid brown 782 2 balls

CASTLE ROOF: Sport weight alpaca such as: Blue Sky Alpacas Melange 50 g/ 101 m/ 110yd, 100% alpaca, Pesto 802 1 ball, OR Relish 808 (light green) 1 ball.

Tension/gauge: I recommend knitting the mini castle for gauge. Finished felted square base of the mini castle should measure about 3 inches high and 4 inches wide. Felting fixes a multitude of gauge issues!
