Pattern Notes

This pattern is written to use one skein of yarn with little leftover.

It can be easily customized by adding or subtracting repeats. The Bulky weight sample used 4 vertical repeats, while the Worsted weight sample used 7 vertical repeats.

Note that gauge is not crucial to this project, though it will impact the final measurements and the amount of yarn used. Both yarns use the same needle size to achieve a similar gauge.
