The Dardanelles

*The Dardanelles* *In St. John's, there is The Dardanelles, a very short little road linking two historic old streets full of architectural heritage. The Dardanelles is also a historic and vital strait in Turkey. This design is a culmination inspired by the two settings of the same name.* The pattern was originally developed for [Sweet Paprika's Skill Builder Box for steeking][1], and it's now out for individual purchase! Size Width at widest section: 27.5cm / 10.75" Total Length: 174.5cm / 68.75" Length of Stranded Colourwork (not including the textured edging): 55.5cm / 21.75" **Yarn** Sweet Paprika Filigree (100% Canadian Wool; 393 metres / 430 yards per 110 grams / 4 ounces) in 3 colours listed below. MC Dusk: 320 metres / 350 yards CC1 Sage: 110 metres / 120 yards CC2 Enchanted River: 155 metres / 160 yards **Gauge** To find your needle sizes, you need to swatch Stranded Colourwork: 21 sts / 27 rndsto 10cm / 4" using size B needles. Textured patterning: 21 sts / 30 rows to 10cm / 4" using size A needles. **Needles & Notions** The gauges were achieved with the following needle size. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. Size A: 4mm (US 6) 60cm / 24" circular needles Size B: 5mm (US 8) 60cm / 24" circular needles You will also need: stitch markers; either a felting tool and board, or crochet hook, or thin yarn and needle to reinforce the steek; scissors to cut the steeks. Note: a felting tool and board is strongly recommended since it can make easy and clean reinforcements, and also reduces fabric bulk at the steeks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Tech edited by Sue Hislop.
