This pattern is exclusive to the Vertically Stranded Colorwork video workshop, which is available as a DVD and digital download. It is 67 minutes in length.

Lorilee Beltman has developed a brand new way to strand contrasting colors up your work, using Rovaniemi colorwork from Finland as her inspiration. This technique is easy to learn, easy to knit, and opens up endless possibilities for creativity in your own pattern designs and modifications. Create colorwork socks with no stretch or tension problems or add a pop of color and texture to a simple scarf.

With this video tutorial, learn the technique and create a beautiful cowl with an undulating stitch pattern.
