We’re halfway finished with our blanket! How does that feel?
The fourth panel is a bit of a challenge, but I know you are up to it. We’ll be working one-row stripes of color, but this time using four colors. That changes things up a bit, but you still don’t have to cut your yarn at the end of every row. Watch the video and pay attention to the pattern, and you’ll soon understand how to work one-row stripes in four colors.
In case you are joining us later, start with the pattern introduction, Panel 1 , Panel 2 and Panel 3. You can also download the entire pattern as a printable pdf.
Panel 4
Finished Size
8″ [20 cm] wide x 57″ [145 cm] long
Gauge
14 sts and 10 rows = 4″ [10 cm] in pattern
Pattern Note
This is a simple 4-row stitch pattern. Worked in 1-row stripes, it is completely reversible. It seems more complex than it is, because it’s been written so that you don’t have to cut the yarn at the end of each row. Pay attention to when to turn and not turn at the end of rows. If you follow the directions, the next color you need will be on the correct side.
