The Wizard is another basic Carrie Stevens streamer that has all of the basic components and techniques of many of her streamers. In fact, only two materials change on the Wizard from Allie's Favorite. Can you figure out which ones? If you watch these videos closely you will find that many of the classic Carrie Stevens patterns have many common components but with different materials or colors. Which is nice because if you can tie one of these patterns than you can tie a dozen others by making some simple changes! - Enjoy.
