This pattern is a simple design using small v-sts and your basic sts..the cream yarn used for the top of neck, bottom and 2 rows of chest, i do not have a name for, it was a random roll i had bought in a mixed bag..its a standard 4 weight but has glitter in the mix..so choose what you would like for those rows..the ribbon can be any thickness you like, and it is inserted below the waistline for a different, appealing look.
