This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters! You should be familiar with stockinette stitch and reading charts! This pattern uses the following techniques: picking up stitches, cabling, decreases, bobbles, three needle bind off, reading charts, and knitting in the round. I’ll be posting tutorials on my instagram!
