Coastal Gradient

Pattern Information:

Coastal Gradient is the fingering-weight version of my worsted-weight [Gradient Wrap Cowl][3] and perfect for mini-skein sets such as Knitted Wit's Gumballs or Dirty Water Dyework's Lillian Gradient Pack. It is knit lengthwise (working back and forth on a circular needle), and features 6 different sections of stripes using 6 gradient colors (although less colors can be used too). Once complete, stitches are picked up on either end to create button bands.

The finished piece looks like a scarf (and can be worn that way too if you prefer), but you can also wrap it around your neck and then button to secure in place to wear as a cowl.

Gauge: approx. 5.5 sts = 1” in St st (although it's fingering-weight yarn, it is knit on a US 5 for a looser gauge)

Yarn: • Approx. 358 yds of fingering-weight yarn for main color, shown in Victory Fingering by Knitted Wit (100% Superwash Merino; 113g = 380 yds, 1 skein, color: Naked) • Approx. 30 yds of fingeri
