In the last post, we saw how working back and forth in rows with variegated yarn will lead to a zigzag pattern.\u00a0 The length of the rows determines how the colors work together in the zigzag pattern.\u00a0 Another trait of variegated yarn worked in rows is the ‘double up effect’, where you get the same color in two consecutive rows at the edge.\u00a0 If your rows are long enough, you will also see the double up effect in the middle of your work.<\/p>\n

Working in the round produces a different type of pattern.\u00a0 There is no double up effect and the colors form diagonal stripes that go one way only. They zig, but they don’t zag.<\/p>\n

In this example, the orange and tan pair up and the brown and white pair up to form diagonal stripes.\u00a0 Remember the color schema for this yarn: TBBTWOOW.\u00a0 You can see that orange is in the same position with respect to tan as brown is to white.<\/p>\n

In the next example, made with longer rows, we get single color diagonal stripes.\u00a0 If you pick a single column and move up, the rows follow the color schema exactly – white, orange, white, tan, brown, tan.<\/p>\n
