Simple is an understatement when it comes to this design. It has a positive ease that can easily be adjusted with minimal shaping. Changing colour ever 10 rows give it the clean methodical stripes. The seater is so cozy and in Sock weight yarn, if feels like a feather as you wear it.

It was the first time I designed with such fine yarn and I needed time to get used to.I normally use knife-hold method when holding my hook but for some reason, whenever I used 3.5mm hook and below, I feel forced to used Pen-hold method, and I am very slow when using this particular method, which means, it felt like forever before I finished it. It was all worth it

The yarn was sponsored by Hobbii and You can find the pattern there too. This is 100% superwash merino which makes is machine washable. I like ti can regulate body temperature during chilly winter days. It is very soft and would be great for someone who is skin sensitive.

  This is actually an edited version of the first design.The neckline for the first design was wide and ended not liking it as much so I re did the neckline and it looks so much better. Whenever I wear it,I get lots of compliments!!
