This pattern produces a basic colourwork rectangle that can be used for a number of different purposes i.e. shawl or scarf. The finished size is approximately 15” x 48”.

The pattern references supporting videos with “how to” tutorials available on Youtube and Patreon. These cover corrugated rib, carrying colours with short floats, steeking and finishing.

I used Chiaogoo red lace fixed circular needles 3.5 mm x 16”. The gauge in the pattern produces a light, loose drapey fabric. Anyone concerned about the carrying yarn showing through from the back may wish to use thinner needles, e.g. 3mm but be aware that this might produce a slightly smaller finished object.

The yarn suggested is 2 x Wee County Yarns 100 gram 4ply miniball gradient packs. One pack for the background colours and one pack for the foreground colours. Each pack consists of 10 miniballs each weighing 10 grams. The colours should be knitted randomly with random colour changes every few rows. Wee County Yarns have produced two gradient packs especially for my projects, they are called Rememberance Background and Rememberance foreground.

Alternatively any 4ply yarn can be used for the pattern, for example Jamieson’s of Shetland Spindrift. It could also be knitted in other yarn thicknesses as it doesn’t need to fit anything, so precise gauge is not essential.

The pattern is repeated 3 times or until you have reached your desired length or run out of yarn. My finished scarf weighs exactly 200 grams.
