5 out of 5 starsI love this pattern! I made it once as written, and love it. Then I altered it to use with chunky yarn and fewer pattern repeats and it still came out gorgeous! I will be making these nonstop. No cable needle required! It’s calming and rhythmic when you get the hang of the pattern. I also found that occasionally I’d forget a yarn over, but you can just add back the stitch when you get to the next round.
