FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Approx 20” / 51 cm long and 30” / 76 cm wide

Single pattern now available. It has been re-edited and expanded with a chart for a practice swatch (Approx 7”x7” / 18 cm x 18 cm).

This knitting pattern was first published in October 2020 as “Gloed Knit Wall Art” in Making No. 10 – Intricate.

SHAPED INTARSIA
Shaped intarsia is a knitting technique that creates flowing and meandering shapes of different colours. The colour transitions are crisp and the flowing lines are created by increases and decreases. An increase in one colour is compensated in the same row by a decrease in another colour and vice versa. The placement of the different increases and decreases creates a personal touch, similar to brush strokes in painting.
Your stash can be an endless colour palette. You may combine oddments from stash, your favourite mini skeins, and small quantities of handspun. It would be a great use of those yarns you dyed with natural dyes last summer.
