This pattern was created to make the most of this yummy yarn I got from Pickle and Co Fibres. It’s a beautiful DK weight merino/nylon/silk blend, which is so soft and squishy, in the colourway Nina and I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it at Knitfest in Maleny.

I played around with quite a few different stitch patterns, searching for something easy to do, with lovely texture, that would do justice to this gorgeous yarn and I hit the mark with this pattern.

This stitch pattern looks fabulous whether using a multi coloured yarn or a single coloured yarn and works up nice and quickly making it super versatile and great for markets or gifts.

I have also provided instructions for making 2 different sizes, a rolled edge and included the multiples and tips for making this in any size/colour pattern you want!
