Like its close cousin Jindivick, Rokeby is a tiny village in the West Gippsland region of Victoria.

Using two yarns of similar texture you can choose to work in one solid and one long self-striping yarn; one solid and a complimentary gradient; two solid colours, or even a gradient worked from each end.

A suggestion is given for making a child-sized version.

Commencing at the neckline with a garter-tab you will knit back and forth before eventually joining in the round.
