Yummy, squishy garter stitch, one basic increase, and simple colour changes make this a great first project for an adventurous beginner looking for a substantial and funky knit.

Look for the yarn used in the sample - you will not be disappointed. It is soft and lofty and best of all, it still retains much of the sheepy smell from the beasties it came from!
