Doodles by DanDoh (Silk+ Kit)

Doodles by Yumiko Alexander

From the designer: While I was designing this pattern, I had so much fun playing with textures using basic techniques - knit, purl, slip stitches, and eyelets.

To make this unique texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with one strand of yarn, and other sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together. This produces a fabric where some sections are light, delicate, and see-through, and other sections are textured and a bit thicker. Slip stitches make wavy, horizonal lines without using short rows.

Instructions include the following adjustment/options.

• Sleeve opening depth adjustments
• Sleeves length adjustments
• Kimono/straight sleeves instead of Gathered cuffs
• Sleeveless option

Note:  All colors may not be in stock at the time of your order.  If that happens, we will call or email you to see if another color may be desirable, or to give you an estimate of the time needed to restock your preferred color selection.
