Sheep Shots: Around and Around

Around and Around

I had a bunch of odd balls of mercerized cotton in DK weight.

Pattern is loosely modified from Bad Penny. I cast on for the largest size and just did my own thing with the color sequence. Since I had the most of the blue, I saved a full ball to use for the neckline and cuffs.

Total yarn used: about 400 grams (8- 50 gram balls), about 920 yards.

It's comfortable and nicely casual. A jeans sweater for summer.

This makes seven.

It looks great on you and I love the irregular striping and the colors. Good job!
