This is a fun and easy pattern! It does include some color work, increases, decreases, and knitting with two strands of yarn at the same time.

It calls for two colors.

The yardage is so high because two strands of yarn are held together.
The pattern can be made holding only one strand of yarn, but it will be a little thinner. It also does not use all the allotted 1680 yards when holding the two strands together. I had a good chunk of yarn left from each color.

The finished product is incredibly soft because of the llama yarn and it has a great thickness to it from the little stitches and holding two strands of yarn together.
