I fell in love with the yarn first, a lone skein of subtle moss to mediterranean blue. Then was delighted by the pointed ribbed checkerboard that this pattern eventually sprung from.
Every round has a smaller rib repeat, and the increase makes for an interesting bind off.

Gauge - 6 stitches & 8 rows =1” in K3, P3 rib
Finished size is about 6.5” x 40”
a Hanging Row Counter is very helpful.

As always I am grateful for the generosity of Sarah at Cephalopod, as well as my beautiful model / editor / daughter, Haley.
