This project was designed to create a custom color
gradation blend. I have outlined the sequence of colors below using seven yarns. You can be creative by using your own sequence, mixing and adding the yarns as they run out. There is no right or wrong way to individualize this pattern, only creativity. Keep in mind that a pattern is only a guideline to your artistic freedom.

As per StevenBe style, this pattern is very flexible. Needle lengths and size are not that important as long as you are close. Remember, a pattern is only a guideline.
Likewise, if a color runs out, simply add in the next color in sequence and continue on.
