The yarn in our Nine-Note Bundles is also truly special. Eighty percent extra fine merino and 20% baby alpaca, it is remarkably and wonderfully soft.

SIZE

NOTES

STITCH MULTIPLE

This pattern is worked over an odd number of stitches.

COLOR SEQUENCE

You will start with the darkest color in the color sequence, then move on to the color one shade lighter until you have used all nine skeins, from dark to light.

PATTERN

Starting with the darkest color, cast on 65 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.

Row 1: *K1, p1, repeat from * to last stitch, k1.

Repeat Row 1 until piece measures about 7½ inches from cast-on edge or until skein nearly runs out.

*Right-Side Row: Join next lighter color in the sequence (see Notes), and work Row 1.

Repeat Row 1 until this stripe measures the same as first stripe, ending with a wrong-side row (i.e. on the same side you finished the first skein so that all tails are along the same selvage).

Repeat from * working through entire sequence of remaining seven skeins.

Bind-Off Row: K1, *p1, pass first stitch over, k1, pass first stitch over, repeat from * to end of row.

Weave in ends and gently block.
