Monojoy

Monojoy is an incredible interpretation of our theme “Confetti & Rainbows”, set on a gentle garter stitch scarf background: Travelling slip stitches, changes in color dominance and two different shapes - rectangles and circles - echo the variety of of shapes, colors and textures life and people can have. A celebration of diversity!

Monojoy is worked flat, from the bottom up. Travelling slip stitch clusters and Estonian nupps sit on top of a two-color garter stitch background. Only one color is used at a time. The two-color I-Cord adorning the sides is the icing on the cake!
