This is a good pattern for learning the entrelac technique. There is a heavy ribbed hem for warmth, using the provisional cast on for stretch.

This is a fantastic pattern for stock busting, using up the loose ends from previous projects. You will need anywhere from 2 to 7 colors, in various lengths. I would recommend using what you have the most of earlier in the pattern. Soon, I will be able to provide average yardage per band.
