This pattern uses self-striping yarn in a simple stranded colorwork pattern. It makes you look like a genius knitter because even though you’re only using two different yarns it appears as if you’ve changed colors all through the design. The dark background yarn makes a beautiful frame for the rainbow hue stripes of color. The pattern is a simple one that doesn’t have any long floats on the back so it’s easy to maintain even tension.
