Simply Stunning Stripes was designed to include elegant stitch patterns but used in a modern style. We also wanted to use up stash yarns or highlight a favorite yarn! Most importantly, it’s easy for a beginner but entertaining for someone more advanced.

Practice pairing colors, textures, and fibers as there is no wrong decisions with this pattern! This pattern is so easy to adapt as your own. You can take out sections, or use one more than once. For example, we found with the largest size, it got a bit heavy, so we took out the stockinette stripes.
