Simple seed stitch takes on moon rock proportions with our incredibly soft and toasty Gentle Giant, while gorgeous Comet at each end brings stardust to the party.

Pattern

With Yarn A, cast on 15 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.

Row 1: *K1, p1, repeat from * to last stitch, k1.

Repeat Row 1 until piece measures 7 inches from cast-on edge.

Cut Yarn A.

Join Yarn B and repeat Row 1 until you have used all 3 skeins of Yarn B or until piece measures approximately 62 inches from cast-on edge.

Cut Yarn B, if necessary.

Join Yarn A and repeat Row 1 for nearly 7 inches.

Bind off in stitch pattern.

Weave in all ends and lightly spray block, if desired. Do not steam block, as heat will singe the Angelina sparkle fibers.
