Notes

I’ve been dying to use the gradient set I bought from Miss Babs. This is the perfect project. Colours are (dark to light) Pleiades, Celaeno, Taygeta, Maia and Electra.

  • start with size M numbers, then add 3 more increases to end up with size L for front and sleeves
  • made this longer - 20 inches side (27 back) before hem
  • 15 ridges on hem and sleeve cuffs, to match

Sleeves:
111 grams at start of sleeve, 65 after 1
74 stitches, then decreased every 12 x 2, 10 x 9 to end with 52 at cuff.

Gradient
5 pattern rows with MC (last of the 3 large skeins)
13 rows with colour 4
14 rows with colour 3
14 rows with colour 2
10 rows with colour 1 in pattern, plus last 3 garter rows (out of yarn).

Yarn Requirements:
I didn’t use the darkest of the gradient set, as that was my MC and I had enough (2 grams left!)
Of the 4 gradient colours I had 20 grams left total.
Leftovers picture shows my full Pleiades mini from the gradient, and the rest of my leftovers.

Pattern Gauge:
Stockinette stitch: 22 st and 32 rows to 4 inches on US 4 (3.5mm)
needles, after blocking.

This project is named for the only pop song of which I’m aware that uses the name Pleiades.

Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
