A warm, cuddly caplet for chunky yarns. Works up quickly. Yarns tested include Misti Alpaca Qolla Chunky, Mirasol Yaya Superwash Merino Wool, and Wool and the Gang Feeling Good Yarn (held double). Measurements are given for each yarn tested to aid you in your choice of yarn. Aim for about 5-5.5 stitches=2 inches in stockinette. This is a great stress-free, TV knitting pattern that is easy to follow.

Three sizes: Small/Medium, (Large/Extra Large) and XXL/XXXL
In order to have proper proportions, the XXL/XXXL size grading is different from the other sizes, so the instructions are separated out just to provide clarity. It is the same as L/XL (save for 2 extra 2x2 rib rows), until the second increase set, where the stitches for the size-up in the XXL/XXXL are added. The increases for the SM/Med to L/XL are at the cast-on, but another increase at cast-on for XXL/XXXL would not produce a good fit for that size, hence the change in location of the grading. Instructions for size SM/Med is on page 9-10. The XXL/XXXL instructions are on pages 11-12.
