Lots of Combs
Enjoy 15% introductory discount with coupon code HELLOMAY until end of 4 May, Berlin time.
Lots of Combs is a rectangular stole that is worked lengthwise using 2 colors of the same yarn.
The stitch patterns use slip stitches and cables to create a textured surface. The 1-color pattern features stripes in stockinette and reverse stockinette while the 2-color pattern features stockinette stripes in two colors, hence the name. Because of the slip stitches you only work with one color at a time.
As the 1-color pattern is a variation of the 2-color pattern both patterns flow beautifully into each other.
For the long edges you are working a small piping after CO and before BO. This gives you neat edges after blocking.
SIZE
73” / 183 cm length, 15½“ / 39 cm width; tassels are optional
YARDAGE
mYak Tibetan Cloud in colors Ginepro (MC) 2 skeins and Wild Daisy (CC)1 skein or 656 + 328 yd / 600 + 300 m sport weight yarn; I used up the entire skeins
Everybody knits differently, so given yardage is an estimate.
GAUGES
24 sts x 48 rows per 4” / 10 cm in 1-color pattern with US 4 / 3.50 mm needle before washing and blocking.
24 sts x 34 rows per 4” / 10 cm in 1-color pattern with US 4 / 3.50 mm needle after washing and blocking.
24 sts x 36 rows per 4“ / 10 cm in 2-color pattern with US 4 / 3.50 mm needle before and after washing and blocking.
A different gauge will affect size and yardage needed.
NEEDLE
US 4 / 3.50 mm circular needle, 59” / 150 cm long
NOTIONS
Cable needle (if you prefer to cable with needle), tapestry needle for weaving in ends; I recommend using blocking wires and T-pins for blocking.

Cable CO; knit and purl stitches; k2tog; slwyif, slwyib; 2/2 RC, 2/2 LC.
