Gentle stripes add a quiet depth, mirroring the way light plays across natural reeds as they drift in the breeze, much like the intricate play of light and shadow within a beautifully woven basket. This creates a subtle visual poetry, where each hue softly transitions into the next, much like the changing light throughout the day. This design is an invitation to embrace the grounded elegance of an artisanal journey, to appreciate the deliberate beauty of each step. It's a reminder of how simple, layered hues can evoke the profound richness of nature's own hand, inspiring a sense of calm purpose with every stride forward. *Colorwork is charted ONLY* **Finished Circumferences** 7.25 (8.25, 9.25)” /18.5 (21, 23.5) cm **Gauge** 34 sts x 44 rnds = 4”/10 cm square in Stockinette St on smaller needle 33 sts x 40 rnds = 4”/10 cm square in colorwork rep on larger needle **Yarn** Fingering weight yarn; C1: 150 yds/137 m; C2: 460 yds/421 m; C3: 230 yds/210 m *Sample used: Must Stash Yarn; Fingering Weight; 75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; full hank 460 yds/421 m; half hank 230 yds/210 m; Colors: 1 half hank (C1) Pan Choi, 1 full hank (C2) Lykke, 1 half hank (C3) Gunmetal* **Needles** US1/2.25 mm - 32”/80 cm circular needle, or size needed to obtain gauge US2/2.75 mm - 9”/23 cm, or size needed to obtain gauge **Notions** 2 stitch markers, 1 unique for Beginning of Round Tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape, and blocking tools **Skills Required** Basic knitting skills Knitting in the round Colorwork - from chart *or willingness to learn* Slipping stitches Picking up stitches Short rows Increasing and Decreasing Grafting (YouTube tutorial included)
