As customers have made their versions of the original Merry Go Round sweaters, I have helped some of them along with extra notes and worksheets. These are available to all of you for free. Click here to download a help file. It contains an FAQ file, a detailed index, and a worksheet to help you organize your project. Just added: notes on hanging the circle and adjusting the sleeve length. All are free

Now you can make a shadow pleated version of Merry-Go-Round. This yarn combination is very dramatic but a subtler one would also look nice.

The newest sample of Merry-Go-Round includes several modifications: a wider circle, purl side skirt, longer back hem, lace up back, ombre yarn and crocheted shell edging. All are in the May 2010 update. Get it by clicking here. I wish you could see the sweater in person. As always, the photos don't really do it justice.
