Special Notes:
• Tracking the yarn -
Yarn conservative: break one skein into 3 mini-skeins for the 3 sections of double stranding. Use the remainder full skeins for both the single and double stranded sections. If you run short, break the final skein up as needed for completion.
Yarn extravagant: if you don’t mind having a skein worth of leftovers, go for 5 skeins. Then use an individual skein for each of the double stranding sections. Use the fourth skein for both the single and double stranded sections. When you run out of the fourth skein add the fifth skein. Alternate between the remaining skeins, every couple of rows, for which is the skein used in both the single and double stranded sections. This method, worked correctly, results in no cutting and creating mini-skeins!

• If substituting yarn, swatch stitches 12-36 on chart to see how the illusion looks in your selected yarn. You may wish to go up a needle size or two from the ball band recommendation for an increased airy appeal. The sample is knit a couple needle sizes larger than is typical of sport weight yarn.
