Ratjetoe
by Erika Westerop - Cello Knits @ 2015
Ratjetoe (= Dutch for hodgepodge) is a diverse project to use up your leftovers and experiment with colors and stitch patterns. I wrote down the pattern for the left armwarmer as a guideline but feel free to make an unique one with your own colors and stitches. As you can see i ended up with two different ones and with some color combinations i wouldn't have chosen normally (i ran out of my favorite leftovers) but that made it interesting and challenging. Happy knitting! smooth color changes when working in the round look up some free tutorials on "jogless stripes" on the internetl
