Suggested Yarn: The yarn used in the sample is Malabrigo Rios in the colors Coco and Glitter, but you can use any worsted weight yarn or yarn needed to obtain gauge. If you choose to work with a hand-dyed yarn, I highly suggest that you alternate your skeins so that the color of the finished garment turns out as even as possible.
