Vermont Fiber Designs Its a Scarf, Its a Sweater 2. Designer Series Pat 503.

Designers are Jan Chappelle and my special friend Ingrid Pietras !

Don't you have one of those baskets or tubs full of unique yarns that just cried out to you in the yarn store? A ball of this and a ball of that, all in your favorite shades? (My basket is velvet browns, beiges, creams and gold.) Can't figure out what to do with them? Here is the answer!

Finished measurements are 11 sizes beginning at 29 inches and ending with 69 inches, with many opportunities to alter.

The stitch is garter, which means all you need to know is how to do the knit stitch!

Guage is 2.75 sts per inch, which is super bulky weight. I recommend combining your beautiful yarns to get this weight. The pattern recommends a US#15 needle, or a size needed to get the gauge.
