A Cog in the Machine

**A Cog in the Machine: A Steampunk-Inspired Knitting Collaboration** Experience the whimsical beauty of Steampunk design with our free knitting pattern, **A Cog in the Machine**. This unique pattern was born from an exciting collaboration between talented designers Marigoldjen, Sparklepunk, and myself during the renowned Zombie Knitpocalypse 2014—a beloved annual knitting retreat. While sharing our latest design creations at a cozy coffee shop, Marigoldjen suggested, “We could do a collaboration—I could offer yarn support.” And so, our imaginative journey into the world of Steampunk knitting began. **Yarn Support and Inspiration** Marigoldjen showcased her incredible dyeing skills by creating the stunning colorway “Copper Patina,” perfect for embodying the essence of Steampunk aesthetics. Complementing this, Sparklepunk designed the beautifully intricate socks named “Mechanical Bell,” capturing the delicate details and mechanical inspirations synonymous with this genre. **Yardage Requirements** To complete your **A Cog in the Machine** project, please note the following yardage requirements: - **Main Color:** 450 yards - **Contrast Color:** 215 yards For those interested in creating a larger size, feel free to add additional repeats to Section 3 for a more customized fit, however, keep in mind that extra yardage will be necessary.
