Cast on for my niece in a stripy yarn she admires every time she’s in my craft room. Will block out long so she can tie it in the back like a shrug. added short rows to each side before the last set of eyelets so it was longer and made it have a little…
fingering held double. cast on teen size to get roughly child size from gauge difference. blackberry: under 2 skeins whisker: 1 skein honeydew: almost a skein celestial: almost a skein
used this pattern (Virgil version) as a canvas for my own striping pattern, which doesn’t go all the way down the sweater to use more of the planetarium colorway. Also made long sleeves instead of the shorter ones. my gauge was a little small, so I made the 12-18 size and think it will fit…
used less than a skein, but the end of the skein was underspend perhaps from being ripped too many times.
my mother in law saw a case like this in a sunglasses store for like $40. I whipped it up quick in less than an episode of TV.
gauge is 6 st/in, between fingering and DK on needles in between those as well. Casting on the fingering size 12mo and it will just be slightly big so she can wear it longer probably doing short sleeves.
co with Judy’s Magic Cast On. work only one needle until just shy of double the width of bag strap. Kitchener the two needles together. 🙂 easy schmesy!
