Game of Tones
Long, shallow triangle with the motif going right to edge - the construction I call “zipknit” - not a classic triangle.
For spectacular effects, when you play with Game of Tones, you don’t have to dye ….
You need one solid and then contrasting yarn - some things you might like to try:
- striping yarn like Noro
- gradient yarn or gradient set
- 3-4 colours of leftover yarn (allow about 100m of each)
- different yarn weights for a textured and tonal effect
Any yarn weight from fingering - aran - just use a needle size to give you a nice lofty texture.
Generally allow a total of about 500m/550yds, but you can use:
total of 400m/440 yds for a smaller version
total of 600m/660 yds for a huge version.
