Long Mountain Collection Ebook - Knitting Patterns for Women by Valley Yarns

The Long Mountain Collection Ebook from Valley Yarns is a downloadable PDF resource featuring five intermediate-level knitting patterns designed for women. This collection showcases versatile garment and accessory designs that combine classic stitch techniques with modern construction methods, making it an excellent resource for knitters looking to expand their skill set.

#1000 Toffee

What is Being Made: The Toffee is a long scarf designed by Julie Turjoman, measuring 12 inches wide by 72 inches long. This accessory project demonstrates how multiple stitch patterns can be incorporated into a single piece, making it ideal for knitters who want to practice and master various textures in one project.

Techniques Used: The Toffee is worked from end to end using gansey and Aran stitch combinations. These traditional knitting techniques create intricate textured patterns that are perennially popular in knitting design. The project is suitable for adventurous beginners seeking to develop confidence with stitch textures and pattern complexity.

Stitches Used: The pattern incorporates Moss Diamond stitch and Lozenge stitch, which work together to create visual interest and dimensional texture throughout the scarf. These stitch combinations are worked to a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches when blocked.

Materials: The Toffee is worked in Valley Yarns Worthington, a premium blend consisting of 50% wool, 25% alpaca, and 25% viscose. The project requires 4 balls of yarn (50g per ball, 174 yards per ball) in the Oatmeal colorway. Knitters will need US 5 (3.75mm) circular needles measuring 24 inches in length, along with stitch markers, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for finishing.
