A fun and relatively easy project. All color work is done with slip stitches, so you are only working one strand of yarn at a time.

Knit, purl, yarn over (lace), follow a color chart (easier than you might think) and finish with garter stitch, it’s really as simple as that. Great project for someone new to color work or for an advance knitter.

You can add additional repeats of the color work chart to increase the size to create an oversize scarf or shall. You may also substitute the fingering weight yarn for sport or DK to increase the size.

This design was inspired by architectural elements I photographed while traveling Portugal.
