Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This pattern was designed for Knit Camp, an online course run by myself, Kat Goldin and Joanne Scrace. The aim of the pattern was to teach increasing, seams and sewing up and blocking.

I wanted to create a striking design which would also maximise a new knitter’s opportunities for practising all the skills that Knit Camp was teaching. The pattern includes different stitch patterns, and needs both increasing and decreasing skills, practise at measuring your knitting, and a lot of seaming (you may not thank me for that - but its excellent practice).

The pattern is printed on my blog, with a step by step photo tutorial. The pattern is divided up into three stitch patterns, which are listed separately to make it clear when you move from one to the next, but just keep the knitting continuous between them.
