This knitting pattern is an original design, a great one for using up some of that stash!

I have used an assortment of yarns - eight colours in all - you can use as many or as few as you like. Try doubling yarns or using two different yarns together for a different affect. I believe I used a silk and mohair blend for the “main” colour and generally used bulky yarns for the various contrasting colours. Up to you, feel free to experiment.

The front & back start off as two triangles and are then joined at the centre and the “V” is formed by working decreases either side of the centre.

Sleeves are knit at the same time and are shaped by casting on/off stitches and working increases and decreases. All not as daunting as it may sound.

Needles Used:

US-8 (5.00mm) 24” & 29” (61.00cm & 73.50cm) circular needles
US-10 (6.00mm) 29” (73.50cm) circular needle

Happy Knitting!
