Swirly Squirrels
For Have a Ball Fall Crawl 2024, I had a last-minute idea for a new pattern, and Swirly Squirrels was born. Thankfully, Teri, my amazing tester, whipped it up in no time at all. There are three ways to wear this, which I didn’t even know would be the case until it was finished, and Teri was modeling it. The pattern may look intimidating, but the cable is faux, so it’s really easy! Additionally, it is all knit in one piece. The only seaming is optional and is if you want to make the underarm more of a sleeve.
