This stunning piece features a double-layered design with striking reverse colors, making it a real eye-catcher that will keep you warm and stylish. **Techniques You'll Master:** This pattern will guide you through essential knitting techniques, including: - **Knitting in the round:** Create seamless projects effortlessly. - **Knitting rows in stockinette stitch:** Master this classic stitch for a smooth finish. - **Picking up stitches:** Learn to tidy up your edges like a pro. - **Simple increases:** Familiarize yourself with left and right-leaning increases (m1r, m1l) for shaping. - **Loose bind-off:** Finish your project beautifully while maintaining elasticity. **Materials Needed:** To create this lovely piece, gather the following materials: * **Yarn:** Choose any *fingering weight yarn* you love. You'll need approximately 30-40 grams per color (about 170 meters/50 grams). For best results, opt for yarn not thicker than sock weight. * **Needles:** Use 5 double-pointed needles (dpn) plus one extra needle, selecting a size as indicated on the yarn label. I used 2.5mm (US1.5) needles. However, some knitters prefer slightly larger 3mm (US2.5) needles for a slightly bigger and lighter finish. * **Gauge:** Aim for a gauge of 10x10 stitches = 3.5-4cm (1.4-1.6 inches) to ensure your piece turns out just right. **Stay Connected:** For more knitting inspiration and patterns, be sure to visit my blog: [http://mumpitz.design/](http://mumpitz.design/) Shop my creations on Etsy: [www.etsy.com/shop/KnitographyByMumpitz](http://www.etsy.com/shop/KnitographyByMumpitz) Follow me on Pinterest for even more ideas: [www.pinterest.com/mrsmumpitz/](http://www.pinterest.com/mrsmumpitz/) **Important Note:** **PATTERN FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY!** This pattern, as well as any items made from it, may NOT be used for commercial profit.
