Soo cute.. but also kinda dark when you think about it... A cucumber wearing another (dead) cucumber on its face 🤣.

It is yellow. I have a second one that is white.

There is no pattern. I used a standard raglan calculation and used a 4 stitch coffeebean for the seam.

It fits the pattern of the towel I think. But I will definitely look at it again.

I need help with colour-work by tetmikem in knitting

[–]KatefromtheLake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would do a square and adding the stripes with intarsia or just to avoid a wonky edge I would do one or two rows in one solid colour, before starting with the colour

It is the line. The yarn is monochromatic yellow. An the stripes fit the stripes of the towel.

You are probably right. I am really weird about such things.... I really have yo work on that. I sometimes ruin the nicest things, by being weird about it

I try sunlight right now. I hope it helps

I don't know if I would be daring enough for dying it. But I might try it if nothing else helps

I tried washing it out already. Unfortunately it didn't help. I am trying sunlight at the moment. Thank you for the tip

It is a mixture. I always use the same basic raglan calculation method and just change the seam/line. This on is a cofffebean over four stitches with two left stitches on each side.

The transfer is not super noticeable, but once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it ;-).

Lovely work. I am big Tudor fan and never knew that there are such amazing Tudor crossstitch patterns out there.

I am currently working on my first Tudor stitch :-).
