This is a very stretchy garment and will expand to fit many shapes. recommended ease is approx 2-4 ins / 5-10 cm. It is worked in rounds, bottom up, with two strands of yarn held together as one.
This is a perfect ALL SEASON garment to layer over a long sleeve shirt in Winter, wear over a short sleeve T-shirt for Spring and Fall, then alone during Summer!
It’s exciting to watch how the colours blend and reveal new colourways as they combine to create something original every time!

Designed to use two different sock/fingering yarns together, or two strands of variegated sock/fingering yarns that are the same colourway, but at different places of the colour pattern.

You will need 404 (470, 547, 645, 766, 875) yds / 370 (430, 500, 590, 700, 800) meters EACH of TWO sock / fingering weight yarns.
The smallest size may take one each of 2 skeins. Medium can get away with just 3 skeins if they are the same. Most sizes will need 2 skeins each, of 2 yarns (4 total).

Blocking greatly opens up this stitch. It is crucial to keep in mind when taking measurements.
The two strands lay side by side, in the open part of the mesh, keeping the garments soft and flexible - but not that transparent.
