  Additional Instructions and Notes
Spin 9slip 9 stitches to a dpn. Hold the dpn on the front of the work. Rotate the dpn one half turn clockwise, thus reversing the order of the stitches. Knit the 9 stitches.
 It is possible to also rotate the dpn counter clockwise. You need to maintain some sort of consistency to achieve a sense of balance. Either have all the spins go one way or alternate the direction of the spin.
 This stitch is easier if larger needles are used. The original Estonian pattern was worked on extremely fine yarn with a relatively large needles that produced a lace effect (although not really lace). The spins were small areas of increased density in the loose fabric.
