About

Peeta is shaped using short rows to create gentle waves and a curved finished edge. The soft worsted wave section keeps you toasty warm while the open fingering weight yarn portion lighten things up.

Mix and match worsted and fingering weight yarns for tons of possibilities.

Great tv knitting. Simple and sweet.
