Notes: These directions are written as I made the pattern. However, there are certain things that I would have done different.

  1. I would have used a smaller needle on the ribbing. (I used a 3 – I would use a 2 if I did it again)
  2. I would have made a shorter section of ribbing. (I would cut the number of rows of each color in half or there about)

Please contact me if you have any problems with the pattern. If you find an error, please let me know by commenting.
