Notes

Resizing a little bit for a lighter weight yarn (DK) because I am using stash yarn, don’t own any aran, and aran colorwork would probably be too hot for me anyway!

I would like to add some stars to the back so it seems magical

Starting yarn weights:
Coral Aura: 420g
Leeloo: 82.3g

Using size 6 on the intarsia and size 7 on the stranded fingers portion. This way, the gauges match, since stranding naturally pulls stitches tighter.

Doing German short rows instead of w&t because they are my favorite type, and so much cleaner. Plus, German short rows are easy to do when mirror knitting to replace purl rows smile
