This beautiful stranded colorwork pattern is an ode to loving wholeheartedly, always. An all-over motif continues to the crown. The pattern is charted only, no written instructions for the colorwork portion.

The main pattern is written for DK weight yarns and it is quite important to gauge swatch for proper fit. Meeting stitch gauge is more crucial than row gauge. Adjustments for other yarn weights can be done and a table is provided at the end of the pattern with suggestions.

Materials:
DK weight yarns: Main Color ~ 130-140 yards, Contrast Color ~ 45-50 yards
Suggested yarns: Dream in Color Classy, Miss Babs Yowza
