Notes

It was impossible to find yarn in the colors Brigitte wanted so I had to select from 3 different balls.

The Umissy was not quite as thick as 2 strands of Carnival so I added a single strand of acrylic cord to it. 52 yds needed.
Carnival used for color stripes: 158yds held double =79 yds of aran weight.

I think I finally got the top to look a bit better.
