This pattern is part of a chapter in the book Figuring Fibers, and buying the pattern online gets you the entire chapter of the book.

The chapter includes an overview of stitch patterns in knitting, a mathematical overview, detailed mathematics including solved knitting problems and instructions for how to rescale for different gauges, and a knitting patterns for a colorwork cowl.

From the Chief Editor of the volume: “Chapter 5 by Berit Givens extends the Chinese Remainder Theorem and shows how both the original theorem and its extension apply to designing knitwear with knit patterns having different stitch repeat lengths. This chapter is rich in worked examples. Importantly, the chapter also discusses the math involved in rescaling stitch counts for different gauge knitting‼ The chapter pattern is a fetching cowl.”
