THIS PATTERN HAS NOT BEEN TESTED

Yarn used is a complete estimate. This was not supposed to be an official pattern, but I had a few requests for it. Mainly, this pattern is for the SQUARE and for the TRIANGLE with brief descriptions on how to assemble them to get a sweater and toilet paper holder.

I believe I used 3 skeins each of Red Heart Stripes (Parrot and Polo).

Gauge is important if you are making the sweater, so do pay attention to that. The square, for a small is 4.5 inches across.

This is an easy square, all stitches are defined in the pattern.

This is my write up on this sweater:

Everyone that knows me, knows I try to look on the bright side.
This Corona Virus Outbreak really had me stressed at a high level….but as the news kept talking about it, I was fascinated by all the beautiful little imagery of the virus. Hard to imagine, something so beautiful could be so horrific. I decided to take the beauty of the little images I kept seeing and turn it into something that would make me smile.

This little project was my ‘pallet cleanse“ after making so many masks. I have been making facemasks as fast as I can, and needed to ‘unwind’ each day with a project that just made my feel good, and helped to put my mind at ease.

The funny thing was, I was making all of these little squares and after I had completed my sweater I realized I had a few left over in a bag I had forgotten about. So, of course I made a toilet paper holder purse…cuz you know, apparently it is the thing to have nowadays! haha!

I am NOT trying to make light of this very serious situation, rather, trying to find a little smile somewhere in my little world, and hopefully it will bring you a little smile too! I am writing up the pattern for the square and half square if you would like to make your own.
