MATERIALS:
Size 13 circular needles (at least 24 in)
Size 15 or 17 needle for Cast On and Cast Off
Row 1 (Cast On) and Row 19 (Cast Off): One, 23-yard ball of heavier weight yarn or two, 11+ yard balls of two different heavier weight yarns.
Rows 2-18: ~7 ½ -yard pieces of scrap yarn (a mix of colors and textures that look well together)
DIRECTIONS:
Arrange pieces of yarn on a table in front of you. You can put them in some order (mix light and dark
yarns, alternate textures, etc.) or use them all randomly.
Using the cable-cast-on method, cast-on 150 stitches using the heavier weight yarn and the Size 15 or 17
needles to keep the edge stitches loose. Leave a 7-8 inch tail on both ends to use as fringe.
Tie on next yarn to the cast on yarn, leaving a 7-8 inch tail at the beginning. Knit one row and tie this yarn
to previous row leaving a 7-8 inch tail at the end. Tie on next yarn to the row just knitted, leaving a 7-8
inch tail. Knit one row and tie this yarn to previous row leaving a 7-8 inch tail at the end. Continue in this
manner until you have used all 17 pieces of yarn.
HELPFUL HINT: to avoid confusion never put your knitting down at the end of a row. Always knit a few
stitches on the next row before taking a knitting break.
Cast off using the heavier weight Yarn and the Size 15 or 17 needles to keep the edge stitches loose.
Trim fringe to ~ 6 inches.
