This pattern is available for purchase from heritagespinning.com. Designed by Joy Stimac for Joan Sheridan and Heritage Fiber Publications.

Inspired by a trip the designer took to visit a Peruvian friend, this “chullo” is easy to knit because the patterning is created using slipped stitches. You are never knitting with more than one color in a row.

Kits are available from Heritage Spinning and Weaving in either bright or pastel colors.
