This is a PDF knitting pattern. Choose one colour of DK weight wool for the main colour and a self-striping contrast colour for honeycomb slip stitches. I used 3 strands of Zauberball Crazy fingering weight yarn held together for the colour changing contrast colour stripes. The pattern includes a video tutorial demonstrating how to triple strand your yarn from one yarn ball, in order to maintain the self-striping effect of your fingering weight yarn. You can also substitute the contrast colour with any DK or worsted weight yarn, perfect for variegated or speckled colourways. This long skinny shape knits up in a flash with US 7 / 4.5mm needles.
