Because it’s knitted diagonally, this scarf is particularly well suited to gradient yarns. The color changes really show off the pattern beautifully.

You can find the pattern here.



It is knitted in sock yarn (though you can also use other yarns), and the pattern is simple. The scarf has pointed ends and a lace border on one side; otherwise, it is mainly worked in stockinette stitch.

This hat is also well-suited for sock yarns with color gradients.

Click here for the pattern.



The hat features a beautiful lace pattern that gradually gets smaller toward the top, eventually disappearing completely during the decreases. It includes a knitting chart as well as written instructions.
The pattern is available in two sizes.

This knitted stole features long color gradients.

The pattern can be found here.



It is knitted in brioche stitch (not rocket science), which makes it very soft and comfortable to wear. Basically, you can use any yarns that are not too thick. My original is made from a cotton-polyacrylic blend.
