Malabrigo Rios: MC - monochromatic. Peachy is used here. 3 (4, 4, 5) {5, 6} skeins.
Malabrigo Rios: CC - variegated. Archangel is used here. 2 (2, 3, 3) {4, 4} skeins.

The stitch pattern is a very fun slip-stitch pattern where the stitches are slid to the other end of the needle after every CC row. Colors do not need to be carried up or cut! The front and back are worked the same until the neck bind off. A three needle bind off is used for the shoulder seams and the side seams are left open and buttons through both layers of fabric are used to hold the sides together. All edging is worked as the pieces are knit. The collar is picked up and worked in the round at the end.

Other materials include 4 buttons about 1” in diameter and a tapestry needle to weave in ends.
