Materials

One Ball Of Knit One Crochet Too TY-Dy Cotton (worsted weight Cotton 196 yds). US sz 8 16" circular needles

What was your inspiration?

I had just the one ball of this lovely Ty Dy cotton and wanted to do something special with it that would accentuate and not obscure the gorgoeus mirrored color striping, but still have some patterning more than simple K n P and this was what I came up with.

What are you most proud of?

It is versatile and elegant enough to be knit in any fiber or color, yet still simple enough to show off an interesting coloration effect or texture in the yarn chosen.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

* Note: If you use the Ty Dy and knit longer/shorter than the 15 +/- inches you get with one ball it will not mirror the colors as shown. To get the effect I got you must knit it with just the one ball to about 15" or as far as your particular gauge gets you.
