Notes

Size 32.75” for 2.75” of positive ease

From Tanis’s blog re: fading with a single strand of fingering, with a slight change.

ex: You’re working with Colour A and are ready to transition through colour B:

1 round colour B, 3 rounds colour A

1 round colour B, 2 rounds colour A

1 round colour B, 1 round colour A

2 rounds colour B, 1 round colour A

3 rounds colour B, 1 round colour A

Continue with colour B until you’re ready to transition to colour C and repeat. This is the style of stripe transition I worked in the socks and Ripple Bralette featured above. It’s a very smooth transition indeed.

To figure out how long to knit each section you’ll have to do some math. You need to determine how many colours you want to use and how long your finished knit will be. You’ll also need to know gauge in order to determine how many inches/rounds of each colour to work. Since fades are more painterly and artistic I happen to think that it’s fine to go by feel. Change colours when it feels right. ;)

I plan to wear this on the reverse stockinette side. I decided to have an i-cord hem and neck edging to better match the pretty side details that show on the reverse stockinette side. This is also part of the original (worsted weight) City Limits pattern.
