Notes

I love how squishy garter stitch is.

Color sequence will be:

  1. Brick
  2. Honey
  3. Beige
  4. Olive
  5. Mustard
  6. Dusty Blue

Did the following:

  • Cast on 110 stitches with size 8 needle.

  • Knitted the garter stitch on size 7 needle.

  • Slipped the first stitch of each row, purlwise, to neaten up the edges.

  • Bound off with size 9 or 10 needle to ensure stretchy bind-off. (Using this technique: http://www.knittingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2008/07/...)

  • Knit each color for 40 rows (AKA 20 ‘ridges’) so each is 5” high.

Finished size is: 29 in x 31 in.
