This is the first of a series of patterns I have designed with German short row stitching & self striping yarns. Very effective, but, you do need to know some simple techniques beforehand. I have
included links to a few videos to watch before you start.
I used wendy aurora in magma, which is sadly discontinued, but, any self striping yarn would be good, along with stylecraft special yarn in black with 3.5mm needles.
This pattern uses a provisional cast on & is knit sideways. You can adjust the length easily for different sized heads
