Valley Yarns Long Mountain Collection Ebook
Overview: The Valley Yarns Long Mountain Collection is a downloadable PDF ebook featuring six intermediate knitting designs. This curated collection showcases versatile patterns suitable for knitters looking to expand their stitch repertoire and explore classic cable and texture work.
Design #1000: Toffee
What is Being Made: Toffee is a long scarf worked end-to-end, measuring 12 inches wide by 72 inches long. Designed by Julie Turjoman, this accessory combines multiple stitch patterns in a single project, making it an excellent choice for knitters seeking to practice varied textures.
Techniques Used: The Toffee scarf employs gansey and Aran stitch combinations, traditional techniques that create dimensional texture and visual interest. The project transitions between different stitch patterns, allowing knitters to develop proficiency with multiple approaches within one piece. Cable work is incorporated through right and left purl crosses (2/1 RPC and 2/1 LPC), which are foundational cable techniques for creating twisted rib effects.
Stitches Used: The pattern features several distinct stitch patterns worked throughout the scarf:
- Moss Diamond and Lozenge stitch
- Seeded Rib stitch
- Cable stitch pattern with 15-stitch repeats
- Right and left purl crosses (2/1 RPC and 2/1 LPC)
Materials: Toffee is worked in Valley Yarns Worthington, a luxury blend of 50% wool, 25% alpaca, and 25% viscose. The yarn provides warmth and drape suitable for a long scarf. Four 50-gram balls (174 yards each) are required. Knitting is worked on US 5 (3.75mm) circular needles, 24 inches long. Additional materials include stitch markers, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for finishing.
Gauge and Sizing: The pattern is worked to a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches in both Moss Diamond and Lozenge stitch and Seeded Rib stitch, blocked. The finished scarf is one size, providing a generous 72-inch length ideal for versatile styling.
Additional Designs in Collection
The Long Mountain Collection includes five additional patterns beyond Toffee: Wheatley (page 7), Robineau (page 13), Wheeler (page 18), Bradstreet (page 23), and Teasdale (page 30). Each design offers distinct opportunities to explore intermediate-level knitting techniques and stitch combinations.
Collection Format: This ebook is provided as a downloadable PDF, allowing immediate access to all six designs. The intermediate difficulty level makes this collection suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to explore more complex stitch patterns and cable techniques.
