Notes

CO 31 stitches (pattern is multiples in of 3 + 1). I slipped all stitches purl-wise. I stopped at 5” because I was running out of yarn, but I think that’s a good size. Each one is 19 or 20 grams, 12 pattern repeats. I chained 14 stitches for the loop.

My first thought was to do these ITR, but I tried & juggling the two yarns & thinking when to purl made it tedious. By the second one, I discovered I could leave a long CO tail to seam the bottom with the Bickford stitch & use the ending tail to seam the side with the mattress stitch.

1) blue & white
2) dark green & multi colored
3) lime green/blues
4) rust & browns
5) purple & blue/purple/green
6) blue & red
7) sage green & rust
8) sparkle red & blue
9) red & white
10) rust & green/blue/purple
11) rust & white
