A very versatile reversible two color pattern combining stranded knitting and ribbing.

The charts can be used to make anything from a skinny pleated scarf to a large pleated shawl.

The sample shown is quite small - it’s big enough to use as a compact scarf or neck warmer.

 

The sample was knit on 2.25mm/US1 needles. The yarn is from ColorShift Yarn (discontinued - see help page):

MC Violet to Midnight Color Bridge 640yds/584m in 8 shades

CC Wisteria Gradation 960yds/877m in 6 shades

I started knitting at the darker end of both of the yarn sets and worked approximately half way through the MC, so the full range of shades is not used in the sample.

 

Dimensions of sample after blocking: 28in/72cm long x 10in/25cm

The width reduces to approximately 4in/10cm when the ribbing is fully closed.

The sample does not use all the yarn! Using up all the MC yarn will give at least double this length.

 

Gauge:

approximately 31sts and 27 rows = 4 inches in stranded ribbed pattern when fully stretched

For a looser gauge, try 2.75mm/US2 needles.

For a slightly bulkier project you can use Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight yarn on 3.25/US3 needles.

 

The pdf contains 3 pages of charts and short written instructions.
