SETTING UP Thread the wire through the center of the Wyr Knittr. Attach the 3 clips to the wire, gradually lifting them totally off the table after you have completed step 5, Round 2. NOTE If your machine is brand new, the handle may feel a bit stiff and will need to be "rocked" back and forth a bit to help spread the lubrication throughout the workings of the machine. This will take a few rounds of knitting to accomplish, but then you're good to go!
ROUND ONE
Step 1, Round 1: Catch first stitch	Step 2, Round 1: Skip second stitch and catch third stitch	Step 3, Round 1: Skip fourth stitch
Step 4, Round 1: On the first round, pull down gently on wire	Step 5, Round 1: Push down stitch
ROUND TWO
Step 1, Round 2: Catch second stitch	This photo shows the stitch sitting on the latch. It must be pushed down below the latch to knit properly.	Step 2, Round 2: Push stitch below latch, view A.

FINISHING
Step 1, Finishing: Bind off stitches by threading the loose wire through the 4 stitches at the end.	Step 2, Finishing (optional): Before tightening the bound-off stitches, use a #8 hand knitting needle to even out the stitches of the knitted cord.
