Knit Raygun

Enjoy all of the sci-fi fun of wielding your very own raygun, without any of the sci-fi carnage!
This is a knitting pattern suitable for intermediate knitters, and involves the following techniques:
- Working in the round
- The following stitches: k, p, k 2 tog, lifted increase (KLL, KRL),
- pinhole cast on (instructions for this are included with the pattern)

Finished raygun is about 6” tall, 8” long .

This pattern is written in English and all needle sizes, abbreviations, etc. are American. Contains 15 fully-illustrated pages with large, easy-to-read text and lots of photos, diagrams and charts to accompany the written instructions.
Suggested Materials:
- Yarn:
Blue: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes: Marina; 2 skein
Black: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes: Coal; 1 skein
White: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes: White; 1 skein
(Or worsted weight yarns of your choice. Under 200 yards needed in Blue, under 50 yards needed for all other colors. I strongly suggest using a feltable wool (or other animal fiber) yarn, as non-felting yarns will produce a very differently shaped raygun. If you must use a non-felting yarn, I suggest using a smaller needle size to produce a denser fabric-- something around a US size 5)
