Ondulation

Discover the beauty of vibrant colors and intricate designs with the Ondulation knitting pattern, a perfect choice for showcasing your favorite gradient or highly variegated yarns! Ideal for knitters seeking to create stunning shawls or wraps, the Ondulation pattern features a captivating combination of stripes, ripples, lace, and rich texture. The long stripes and garter stitch work harmoniously together while artfully breaking up any pooling that may occur with variegated yarns, ensuring a beautifully balanced look.

Construction Notes

The Ondulation pattern is knitted end to end, elegantly shaped by alternating lace panels that introduce delightful pops of color through contrasting garter stitch stripes. By utilizing a combination of ombre main color (MC) and semi-solid contrasting color (CC), this pattern allows you to play with various hues and develop a visually striking piece. Although the recommended yarns are specifically chosen to be heavy lace and light fingering weights, the exact yarn weight and gauge are not critical as long as your yarn choices work well together in your swatch.

Notions

• US 4/3.5 mm knitting needle OR a suitable size to achieve your desired gauge.
• A 60" or longer circular needle is recommended for ease of knitting.
• A tapestry needle will be necessary for weaving in ends to finish your project neatly.

Skills

This pattern requires basic knitting techniques, including knitting and purling, along with skills such as k2tog (knit two together) and yarn over (yo) for creating lovely lace effects.
