I made this pattern with a heavier weight yarn than the fingering weight. It turned out very nice and warm while still just as attractive.

The border was done with two skeins of Knitcol, though I started running out about 10 pattern rows from the end. I did the very last rows of the edging in the white yarn that I used for the body, incorporating it into the edging by working a striped pattern for a few rows.

This was a nice, easy pattern, and the Knitcol was very fun to knit with.
