The Circle of Yarn


I received this beautiful Noro Chirimen yarn from Carla a few weeks ago. I've been searching through patterns trying to figure out what to knit and/or crochet with this gorgeous blend of cotton, silk and wool. I stumbled across the DROPS Circle Jacket pattern and decided to give it a try. Quite a few people on Ravelry have crocheted this pattern. My fave is this one, made with good ol' Red Heart acrylic yarn by Crochet Bug. I thought that using the self-striping Noro yarn would work out perfectly for this design.
So far, so good!

  2. Really pretty, would this be a difficult pattern to do for a first project? (Hint, Hint, if I could get someone to teach me?)
