Swatch was knit using US6 size needles and fingering weight yarn.

Pattern

Abbreviations

k = knit
yo = yarn over
sl = slip stitch
k2tog = knit two stitches together
psso = pass slipped stitch over

This version includes the edge stitches in the row by row instructions

Needle size: US 3 / 3.25mm

Colour pattern

Use 14 shades of orange yarn, beginning with the darkest, and working 6 rows of each, then reversing colours starting with 2nd lightest shade. Rows 1 – 4 are not part of the colour pattern and should be worked in the darkest shade (in other words, the darkest yarn will be worked over 10 rows each time, not 6)

Cast on any number of stitches divisible by 8, plus 8 more for the edges.

Row 1 – 4: k across
