Notes and Tips -

For your main color, I recommend a bulky yarn that is solid or semi-solid. The contrasting color can be anything from solids to gradients to speckles! Go wild with it if you like! For the contrasting yarn, you can use a bulky yarn or worsted weight held double to create a bulky yarn.
