Notes

I first tried this (much beloved) pattern with Georgia O’ K., Ginger and Oak : frogged before blocking (last pics) ‘cause found contrast to high between Ginger and Georgia O’ K. and to low between Georgia O’ K. and Oak. But this combination is exactly what I wanted : perfectly paired colors and moderate contrast!
Finished dimensions 204x65 cm. (80”x25.5”)

Mods :

  • Only two colors (except for one ridge Oak)
  • Skipped third stripe section
  • Only two repeats of edging
  • Finished with 2 rows garter and usual B.O. : seems I-cord B.O. and is much faster!!!
