Pattern Description
The joy of using variegated yarn is that you can produce striping effects without the need for time-consuming yarn changing. Here, the lovely mute tones if the yarn mean the color changes of this wrap jacket merge subtly into one another. You could use a more vivid palette to produce bolder color changes.
