Notes

Choices choices… Well, it’s autumn, I want red!

My sweet grandparents had an architect design their dream house when they were finally able to afford a house. And it included a patio with a koi pond. I so loved to feed the koi and watch them…

Soooo, the pattern doesn’t state explicitly which is MC and which is CC… yet describes the pooling with apparently the variegated as CC. So that’s what I’ll do.

If using the WM and you want a full size wrap as opposed to a narrow scarf, you’ll need 1 round of the hank per row! It might also work with 1/2 per row, that’ll be a lot more narrow, though. Don’t ask me how I know… 1

MC Tandoori Masala
CC Red Hot Chili

Mods and stuff

  • 130 stitches total
  • ksk edging
  • 2 mosaic panels in the yellow parts
  • 25 times pattern before change in direction
  • 25 times pattern after change in direction
  • In MC, work end rows
  • 1 Last row in CC, slip stitches back I would have preferred three rows to match the start with a CC garter ridge. Ran out of yarn towards the end of that first row, though
  • Icord BO over 4 stitches in MC

Number 10 in 2019
Unblocked: 126cm x 45cm
Laid out and patted down gently: 157cm x 48cm

Yarn usage

MC Tandoori Masala, 165g incl label (2g)
CC Red Hot Chili, 165g incl label (2g)

2 pattern repeats take about 5g of CC and 6g of MC

After 25 pattern repeats
MC 88g left
CC 82g

About 2g per BO

Used every scrap of the CC (Red Hot Chili)


  1. sadly, the more detailed information on how to do the pooling incl. schematics are NOT in the pattern, only in the designer’s project here sighs
