About the pattern

• It has written instructions in English (US terms) and Dutch, accompanied by photos and a full spreadsheet so you can see at a glance which color to use, which stitch to use and what the stitch count should be. Now isn’t that handy?
• The design uses a variety of V-stitches, which are described in the pattern. All these different stitches will give a nice gradient effect, which allows you to use and mix all the colors you like.
• The color changes are made in a way to keep the number of ends at a minimum, because nobody likes to sew in all those ends, right?

Yarn requirements
It uses Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed* in 11 different colors. See color codes below (RW = River Washed and SW = Stone Washed). You’ll need one ball off each:

Color C – SW 835
Color D – RW 942
Color E – RW 949
Color F – RW 941
Color G – RW 948
Color H – SW 824
Color I – RW 952
Color J – SW 815
Color K – SW 828
