This was a self-published pattern leaflet. It was sold by a vendor at Stitches East in 2001.

While the yarn called “Sizzle!” is not identified any further in the pattern as to who was its manufacturer or producer, this writer remembers the yarn as having been metallic in nature. The pattern calls for adding in additional solid worsted yarns with an optional amount of eyelash yarn that could be held along with the Sizzle! in those rows.

The sample garment, pictured on the pattern, had a solid black base and the Sizzle! rows were of a metallic gold color.

The yardage requirements are thus, for the 4 sizes:
Sizzle! 300-350-400-450 yards;
Solid Worsted 200-250-300-350 yards;
Eyelash (optional): 1 ball (all sizes).
