Materials
- For a result similar to the model, choose five colour of Vintage Purls Tannahill yarn.
I recommend:-
- One dark shade. Colour A. Requires 40g.
All your other colours should contrast well against this. - Two shades of a colour (e.g. two blues, one darker than the other). Colours B & C. Requires
15g of each. - One pale colour. Colour D. Requires 20g.
- One bright “pop” colour. Colour E. Requires 10g.
Tannahill is a pure merino, woollen spun yarn. It is 4ply/fingering weight (100g/396m).
- One dark shade. Colour A. Requires 40g.
-
- 3.50mm needles or size that gives you gauge.
I used a 40cm long circular needle throughout but double point needles are an altenative option. - Optional: 5.00mm needle (or needle tip). This is for the cast off only. Close enough is good enough, pick a needle
3 – 5 sizes larger than your main needle to ensure your cast off is not too tight. - A stitch marker.
Gauge
27 stitches and 30 rows in 10cm in blocked stranded colour work.
Size
54cm circumference. Modification advice is included in the pattern.
