Rikochan

Rikochan is a very versatile spring & summer wrap, made for fun knitting and wearing. We made ours with Berroco Maya, an extremely soft, light and airy cotton yarn, perfect for all year wear. We made our Rikochan exactly to directions, used 7 skeins, but had the better part of a whole skein of each colour left over (you could cheat and get away with 5 skeins, it's a generously sized garment).

Materials

• Berroco Maya: 4 skeins in neutral colour (5601), 3 skeins in contrast colour (5652)
• 5mm/US8-29" circular needles (or longer)
