This was originally a mystery KAL using 3 colours, but it also works well with just 2 - particularly if one is self-striping.

DK or worsted to get gauge of 18sts per 10cm/4” in garter stitch

Allow approx. 90m/100yds of each of 3 yarns:

  • one neutral (dark or light)
  • two contrast colours (they will touch in places so be sure you like all 3 together).

Although the MKAL has concluded, the pattern is still in the original format, but there is an extras file to explain how to work with just 2 colours and also for other gauges: 16 or 20 sts (in addition to the original 18), and I’ve included a chart.

I’d like to create a consolidated version of the pattern, but I’m not sure when I ‘ll be able to do that (for now, I’d recommend you read the info on screen and just print the pages you need for knitting).
