______________________

Although this looks a bit like stranded knitting, the triangles are formed by slipping stitches, which means that you only work with one yarn per row and the knitting is very easy.

It reminds me of both Flying geese quilting and Escher motifs; your eyes don’t eyes don’t know whether to focus on the downward or upward arrows. (if you would like to make a co-ordinating hat you might like to take a look at Easy Escher Effect or Play like Klee )

The pattern has both charts and written instructions so that you can work with the type of instructions you prefer.

The pattern is listed for “worsted” weight, but it can also work with DK or Aran weight.

Allow approx. 150m of each of 2 yarns with good contrast:

One yarn can be a solid or similar that will form the background and bottom edge.
The other is the “feature” yarn - handspun, variegated or striping yarns are all good options for this.

The pattern was tested both top-down and bottom-up, but based on the testing I decided it worked best when worked top-down, so that is the version that is detailed in the pattern.
