Mormont
This beautifully crafted knitting pattern draws inspiration from a stunning colorway dyed by A Hundred Ravens, named after a beloved character from Game of Thrones. Just like this character, mini skeins are small yet powerful, allowing knitters to unleash their creativity! Unlike traditional gradient skeins, mini skeins enable crafters to control the timing and placement of color changes seamlessly. This unique design takes full advantage of that control, crafting a mesmerizing stepped pattern reminiscent of vibrant stained glass.
For this project, each block of contrast color requires approximately 50 yards of fingering-weight yarn, culminating in a total of 350 yards needed for all the colorful sections. Utilizing a collection of colorful gradient mini skeins is ideal for this design; however, it also presents a fantastic opportunity to use up those leftover yarn bits you have lying around. It's important to note that both skeins of the main color should match, with the sample project using approximately 600 yards of yarn to achieve the desired look.
The Mormont design is worked seamlessly along the short edge, incorporating intarsia techniques throughout the pattern. If you’re new to intarsia, it's advisable to familiarize yourself with this technique and practice knitting a few swatches before diving into this project. Please note, teaching intarsia techniques falls outside the scope of this pattern, but numerous resources are available online to help guide you.
This pattern features comprehensive written directions with no charts, making it accessible for all skill levels. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner eager to explore new techniques, this vibrant stained glass-inspired pattern is sure to be a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Explore the world of color and creativity with the Mormont knitting pattern, and experience the joy of bringing your yarn stash to life!
