Pattern Notes
Do you have lots of fingering weight scraps leftover and can’t bear to throw them out? Small bits that just aren’t enough for a full project? This is the perfect project to use up all those odds and ends. And the best part? You will have very few ends to weave in! Most ends are crocheted over in as you go.

Color Notes
I used every color of fingering weight yarn I had sitting around - no exceptions. I’m a firm believer that by adding more and different colors to a ridiculous degree will always result in a beautiful thing. Though I used one color for my sleeve and body edgings, you could totally use different colors to add to the scrappy look of the piece. There are loads of ways to customize this piece to make it your own!

I organized my scraps into light and dark piles. Colors are referred to as DC (dark color) and LC (light color). But feel free to mix this up as you please!

Construction Notes
Back, Fronts, and Sleeves are all worked separately from the bottom up. Ribbed Edgings are added after the pieces are complete. The overall stitch pattern is a single crochet spike stitch and is very beginner friendly!
