Ziazan is an Armenian given name meaning “rainbow”. This design is a deeper dive into color with simple shaping as seen originally in the Brimfield scarf. You will be working a pattern repeat consisting of a series of alternating increases and decreases in two different scales (it’s simpler than it sounds!). It’s an enjoyable, memorable pattern with satisfying results.

The rapid color changes of the minikins keep it all interesting and engaging. If you choose to pick your own colors, I recommend picking balls that have a strong contrast in the end colors to emphasize the stripe at each ball change.
