This pattern is good for a newer knitter who wants to try new techniques (cables, slips, twisted) only a few rows at a time. The size changes are subtle, as they only require different needle sizes instead of different stitch counts. It is knitted in the round and in one piece, so unless you need a second skein (you will if you knit it on size 10.5 needles, but should not if you use either of the two smaller ones), there are only two ends to weave in!
