Colors That Climb Sampler
Ten motifs using vertically-stranded color work, or Colors That Climb, are worked in the round to create a knitted tube that is cinched to form a hat if you wish. The original intent is to provide a learning tool to offer motifs to audition. Pick the ones you like and use them elsewhere on socks, sweaters, or a design of your choosing. This pattern was written for my 2018 Knit Stars 3.0 North Stars Rising curriculum.
Each motif has written instructions and a chart. Some have an additional Stitch-Map.
One skein main color and 25 grams of four contrast colors.
!!! It’s important to understand this pattern does NOT include instruction. Most knitters who try this technique without already knowing how make it more difficult than it is. Please save yourself the frustration. Here are the places you can find video instruction from me, Lorilee, in order of their release:
