A
sampler of some great stitch patterns allows the colors to shine in a
subtly shaded pattern, although two colors would be equally effective. Ysolda’s Pyukkleen is knit using stranded colorwork in Aran weight yarn
creates a fabulously warm fabric with plenty of body that means the loose
cowl can stand up to protect your nose from the wind or be pulled down into
attractive gathers. Pyukkleen is an excellent first stranded colorwork
pattern with its geometric patterns, short floats, and lack of steeking. This design
calls for six colors. The colorwork
pattern is in chart form only.
