To get the best result, it is best to first sketch your drawing with a pencil. Then trace this sketch with a black fineliner or marker. Choose a fineliner of at least 0.5 mm thickness if you are using a blanket template and at least 1 mm thickness if you are using a scarf template.
You can also create fun graphic textures by painting with black ink or paint, or coloring surfaces with a pencil.
If you would like to add handwritten text to your artwork, follow these guidelines to ensure your text is legible when knitted:
Drawing templates for scarves: Write the capital letters with a height of at least 2 cm and the lower case letters with a height of at least 1 cm.
Drawing templates for blankets: Write the capital letters with a height of at least 1 cm and the lower case letters with a height of at least 0.5 cm.
