"The results are stunning, the stitch simple," understates Alfke. "The whole is more than the sum of its parts!" Calling for about 75 yards (68 metres) each of three different yarns, this is one of those patterns you'll carry with you everywhere and use year after year. Alfke thoughtfully gives you an unusual bind-off, because she finds "the regular method is too loose for the tighter gauge"; and indeed the pattern is written as if by a dear friend coaching you through a new but simple recipe. Tips abound, though the theory is easy. See data page for gauge information. From 2008.
