Dedicated to Dennis Ritchie, thank you!

Ritchie is a parallelogram shaped wrap, knit seamlessly. It starts top-down and end up bottom-up! Combining innovative construction mosaic slipped stitch, texture and relaxing Garter, it is sure to please you on long fall evenings by the fire!

The pattern is easy to follow, including charts only for the mosaic sections. Don’t know how to read charts? No problem! I have recorded a MOSAIC primer tutorial for you here - once you try it, there is no going back, it is that easy! Mosaic stitch uses only ONE color per row, resulting in stunning colorwork effects, win win!:)
