Note

At the beginning of December, I got all anxious for no reason (hormones) and decided that I needed something to do with my hands and brain so that I didn't just think of horrible stuff. So, I found this free pattern and thought it would be a good opportunity to use some of my mom's yarn. I didn't quite have enough to make a sweater or something and it was a bit too itchy to make a hat, so this was perfect. It ended up being a really great exercise in increasing and decreasing. I am now a M1L/M1R pro. Thanks to F for the name "Walter".
