Valley View
19 Feb 2022
After two years of sales this pattern is now free.
Named for a local farmer and producer of wonderful goats milk soaps & skin care products from her award-winning flock of Saanen and British Alpine dairy goats. Shelly also happens to have been the inspiration for this pattern after admiring one of my earlier designs at a recent farmers market.
Begin working flat before eventually joining in the round. You will change colours every two rows/rounds so it is simple enough for less experienced knitters but with enough variation for those that have been knitting for a while.
The border benefits greatly from blocking therefore a natural fibre is highly recommended. Choose from two solids, a solid & a variegated, a solid & a gradient, or one smooth & one textured yarn.
Needles and Notions
Size 4.00mm 60cm (24”) circular, you might also wish to use a 5.00mm straight needle for binding off
Two stitch markers in different colours
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Skills required
Garter tab; knit in the round; work KYOK & YO increases; M1L increase; work S2KP (also known as CDD or S2K1PSSO);
