Welcome to the world of oligarchy. Oligarchy is not just a Russian phenomenon. It exists right here in the USA. --Bernie Sanders

This design was inspired in part by ArtFiend’s Deathflake.

The pattern calls for fingering weight in the following quantities:
Main Colour (natural) 85m/93 yards
Contrast Colour (red) 85m/93 yards

The pompom used an additional 42m/46 yards of the contrast colour.

Some knitters have reported that this pattern runs small when worked with fingering weight yarn. If you experience this problem, you can try working with sport weight yarn at the same gauge.

The pattern assumes that you have experience with stranded colourwork, knitting in the round, and reading charts.
