Used leftover yarn from other projects—the idea was to use as much up as possible without buying yarn, so I had to get creative with my yarn and color placement to make sure I wouldn’t run out. White/Red/Yellow are my only stripes that are solid—the yellow striped used every bit of my Rios, so I knew the bigger stripes were going to be a test :P.
