Hippie Chic


100% Cotton
Gauge: 20 sts/4 in. on US #7 needle
100 grams = 196 yards
Color: 891
Very interesting color changes. Of course, this would look quite different when knitted in much longer rows or in the round for a sweater. The clor changes would happen much sooner and the stripes would be much more narrow. I am not a fan of cotton, but this is an interesting yarn for those of you that do. It did not split while I was knitting it with Denise needles, and felt good in my hands. I am a loose knitter, so I would go down to a size 6 at most, rather than the size 7 suggested on the label, as this fabric is a bit too loose for my taste. Tighter knitters should have no such problems.
