This pattern idea was born last Spring 2022 when I had an idea to create something that reminded me of all the European stained glass windows I’d seen.
It uses colorful gradient with a solid outlining to create strong contrast.

The pattern includes instructions so that you can make with gradient continuous yarn or with different color yarns that you tie off and restart. Each round will indicate where to start.
