“Metallic” Yarn

Brenda and Heather Yarns sent me a free yarn sample for this project. It’s their Unicorn Lite base, in the Cyclone colorway. Unicorn Lite is a blend of 65% superwash merino and 35% bamboo. The bamboo gives it a luxurious drape and an almost metallic sheen that you can’t get with the wool alone.

This is a generous, 840 yd skein with one gradient all the way through. Unlike some gradients, it’s a very smooth transition without distinct bands of color. The size of the skein allows for larger projects that really show off this gradual color change.

There was so much yarn in the skein that I ended up having to wind mine into 3 separate cakes – not because the yarn broke or anything, but because I only have a small ball winder. I probably could have managed it in 2 if I had made the first one bigger.

They also sent me a stitch marker and a cute rainbow sheep pin!

Abbreviations used

(Pattern is written in US terms)
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
csdc = chainless starting double crochet (see Special Stitches)
cohdc = cross over half double crochet (see Special Stitches)
sk = skip
st(s) = stitch(es)

Special Stitches

Chainless Starting Double Crochet (csdc): Pull working loop up to the height of a dc. Holding loop in place, twist hook forward and around loop to create a “yarn over”.

Insert hook into first stitch, yo and pull up a loop. You now have 3 loops on your hook. (Yarn over and pull through 2 loops) twice.

The CSDC replaces the ch 3 at the start of a dc row. It creates a cleaner edge. If you prefer, you can work ch 3 (counts as a dc) instead of csdc wherever you see it.

Instructions

Ch 51 (multiple of 4 + 3)

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (50 sc)

Row 2: Turn, csdc, (sk next st, dc in next 3 sts, cohdc) across, dc in last st. (50 sts)

Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across. (50 sc)

Repeat rows 2-3 until you run out of yarn or to desired length, ending after a repeat of row 3.

Pattern is reversible, there is no right or wrong side.

Fasten off, weave in ends.
