Materials

Lily Sugar ‘n Cream – Contrast Color (CC) of choice – 30 yds
US 6 Needles
Tapestry Needle

Patterns Notes

  • The size can easily be adjusted by increasing/decreasing the number of stitches/rows
  • When working with cotton, I recommend soaking the finished project in a vinegar bath to set the colors to prevent color bleeds. 50/50 Water/Vinegar, 1 tbls salt for each cup of liquid. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Garter Stitch – knit all rows.
  • Begin Each Row – slip the 1st stitch off the left needle purlwise with yarn in front.
  • Cut yarn at each color change – use Stephen West’s weave in technique to hide the ends as you go.
