Spillane works a magical spell alternating earthy, self-striping
SONATA SHIMA #1001 Obihiro and the complimentary SONATA
#01 Vanilla. A crossed fan pattern is worked in rows from the lower
edge, starting with the lightest shade of SONATA SHIMA. You can match stripe colors on fronts and at side seams (like our version) or crochet each hank of SONATA SHIMA beginning to end.
