Inspired by our “Infinite Stripes” pattern, we wondered what would two color-morphing cakes of “Blossoms” do if worked together from opposing ends. So, we took two cakes of the same colorway and knit stripes--two rows from one end of one cake, and two rows from the opposite end/color of the other cake. The result was lovely! With a dramatically morphing cake--such as shown in “Zinnia”--even the center-most colors (which are very close to the same) are discernible. With a gradient cake--such as shown in “Globe Thistle” the shifts are very subtle and the center-most colors met and merged in the middle.

The pattern has the option for two sizes--a 10”/25cm wide version that will wrap three times around the neck, and a 12”/30cm wide version that wraps twice.

Started from a provisional cast-on and finished with a three-needle bind off, watch the colors interact as you go.

Alternately, you could use 2 different colorway cakes--and if you do, share photos!!!
