I love Everything about this design; the yarn has a strong softness that accentuates the spirit. The stitch pattern is easy to work. While not completely mindless, there is an easy to follow repeat that gives the mind room to process thoughts. I chose The Name “Rally Cry” as I see a process. Change is needed, but perhaps not defined.
This as a therapeutic design. One that will allow the maker time to reflect, and formulate a plan, and the wearer the chance to feel warmth, and see the connection between stitches to make it special. It will reinforce the power of love invested in making it. The Random color changes are almost predictable, but as true as it is, there is no guarantee.
Gauge is not vital to the design, except in that you may need a second cake if you make alterations to the pattern.
