Level: Advanced Beginner-Intermediate

with a complex and interesting design and a great overall look, but not a
design that would make me feel bonkers knitting it. This is a LOT of fun to
knit, and would be great in any colors you like.

K2tog: knit 2 sts together; P: purl; rem: remain(ing); rep: repeat; st(s):

marker. Other abbreviations used are defined in the chart and text below.
