The view from a mountain hike's summit takes in an expanse of lower peaks and valley that seems timeless, but is ever changing. The shifting light illuminates one crest, then another, while adjacent gullies and ravines remain darkened.
Light on the Mountains captures the essence of that panorama in yarn. It starts with a two-color background pattern evoking the mountains and adds strategically placed pops of a third accent color to evoke the light. Those flashes of color also give you the opportunity to personalize the design. Full color charts are included for each of the 6 sizes so you can follow the sample and I've also included grayscale charts for each size so you can play with different ideas for the placement of the contrast color before you start knitting, coloring-book style.
Yarn kits are available from Treasure Goddess Yarn.
Pattern features
• Two-color stranded colorwork background pattern with small, bright pops of a third accent color.
• Separate charts for each of the six sizes, ranging from baby through adult XL, in addition to written instructions.
• Grayscale charts for every size, allowing knitters to experiment with accent-color placement, coloring-book style.
• Helpful tips and links throughout the pattern to support a successful knitting experience, including a tutorial showing how to add the little pops of accent color while working in the round.
• User-friendly, detailed instructions, with stitch counts provided any time there is a change.
• Yarn : Worsted-weight yarn. The yarn used for the sample is Treasure Goddess “Treasured Warmth Worsted Weight,” a “100% merino wool yarn with 218 yards/200 meters per 100 grams, in colors Far Horizon (Color 1, dark blue) Clear Skies, (C2, light blue) and Lusty Wench (C3, orange). Other worsted-weight wool or wool-blend yarns would work well for this pattern. See nearby chart for expected yarn amounts for each size.
• Gauge and needles: 24 stitches and 26 rows to 4”/ 10 cm in colorwork pattern after blocking on US 6/4.0 mm and 7/4.5 mm and or size needed to achieve gauge plus one full US size smaller. This hat is worked in the round.
