Project 12 of my blog, A Crochet Quest
This project is quite fun because you can play with all sorts of yarns and colors. It works up pretty fast and easily. It has rectangles and triangles in it to make it more interesting. It is a great project for anyone with a lot of partial skeins!

MATERIALS
Yarn: The yarn for this project is just about any yarn you want to use as long as it is worsted weight or thinner. It is also composed of lots of pieces of skeins instead of one whole skein. It is a good project to use up a lot of leftover pieces from other projects. It uses a lot of yarn because you hold two yarns together for the whole piece. When holding the two yarns together, try to chose yarns that will not make the combined thickness more than worsted or aran weight. If it gets to thick, it can make the piece wonky. You also do not want to have the yarn be too thin. Try to combine yarns that do not go below a sport or DK weight. You may just have to try different yarns together to see if they work.

Switching between yarns: To not have a ton of ends to weave in, try to felt the ends of yarn together by rubbing them between your hands. If they will not felt, you can tie them and tuck them in later. I switched between yarns by starting with two yarns and then ending one before I ended the other. Then, I added a new yarn, so that the still working yarn is worked with two different yarns. Once I worked with those two for a while, I ended the yarn that was worked with two other yarns. The goal is for each yarn to work alongside two other yarns. It creates more of a gradient than stark changes.

Yardage: It is hard to say just how much yarn this piece calls for because I used lots of partial skeins and held them together. I’d say that it uses about 800 to 1200 yards because it is doubled. I recommend you have a lot of partial skeins for this project and be prepared to have to use a lot of yarn.
