This newly formatted DK version is also featured in volume one of my latest pattern book publication, Kalendar Kidz just released June 2015

Whidbey DK this version is suitable for working with light weight yarns, based on the original pattern by the same namesake with further improvements made to the pattern stitch, that of omitting the complex stitch patterns to feature the stylish diamond stitch.

Inspired by both my love of the traditional Gansey stitch patterns and west coast living especially designed for the poseable Kidz n’ Cats ® dolls, one I hope you and yours will enjoy Debonair Designs
