Grunge & Glory rocks a bold daisy motif with contrasting cast-on and bind-off for added flair. The 2 x 2 tubular cast-on and 2 X 2 invisible bind-off bring extra elasticity while creating beautiful rounded edges. It was designed in Sandnes Garn Alpakka, a soft alpaca base which is guaranteed to keep you cozy and warm all winter. Note, Alpakka is a light DK weight and a similar gauge may be achieved with a sport weight yarn.
