Need for Speed

[Thread link][1] - for chat, pics and help **Saving paper** - *this is so simple you may not even need to print the pattern - or maybe just print page 2 - the page with the instructions- and read the rest on screen.* **Sometimes when I'm making something that's taking a while, I just need to FINISH something - that's when I feel the "need for speed".** Also handy for last-minute gifts (roughly 2-3 hours to make one). Knitted as a strip (not bottom-up) because I prefer the drape of the stitch worked this way. **Three shapes - all with the same neat and tidy braid-effect edge (even when you're knitting fast, you can still have nice details - doesn't take any longer ☻) :** Tall single worn folded double (purple one) - approx. 130m (145 yds) Wide single with a twist (shown in cream) - aprox. 200m (220 yds) Double loop (green) - approx. 250m (275 yds). MALABRIGO RASTA is a lovely yarn for this, but a bit thicker than the yarns I used for my samples, so you'll probably only need about 21 stitches and possibly one size larger needle.
