This pattern is available for $4.99.

This charming mother-daughter set features a circular yoke with colored garter stitch stripes. The “windows” are made by slipped stitches, so only one color is used on any one row. The pattern is repeated on the cuff for a sweet bracelet-like effect.

The colored stripes use only a few yards of each color, so this design would be great for using up little bits of leftover yarn.
