2. worked in rounds. after rnd 29: Work even. Rnd 30
question what do they want "Work even. and they end with "work even. Fasten off. Do they just want to remind to make stitches even?

Linda,

Here are some pictures of blunt end needles:

I use the plastic kind to finish off my work.

Usually, when the pattern says work even - continue until finished with the number of rows/rounds specified. It also means that will not use any increasing and decreasing to finish your pattern off.

Hope this helps!

You have to use a blunt end needle for stitching up yarn projects because a sharp end can snag the yarn. I usually use a size 16 needle. That's one with a big eye that can be used for plastic canvas and worsted weight yarn can fit through the eye.

Thank you for your replies. Very helpful. The elephant is almost done and is adorable.

I am thinking repeat the pattern across. Sometimes they say work even and sometimes "across" A blunt end needle is a big needle with an eye large enought to thread yarn through. And the end is rounded. They are called Yarn needles. Hope this helps you!
