This colorwork may look intimidating, but it is worked with one yarn at a time, with tuck stitches that force the fabric to slant in different directions.
Suprisingly, if you switch the ‘dark’ color with the ‘bright’ one, you’ll get funky tiled look -- check the last photo at the bottom of this page!

Techniques used:

  • provisional cast-on (any method)
