Squamish

Squamish is part of a series that explores curves worked on the bias. It is a luxuriously large wrap, waves stacked 3 high. This pattern is available for free with purchase of a pattern kit from Hopemade Yarn, which was used to make the pictured garment. Please get in touch with me if you have bought a kit and need the pattern. I haven't yet figured out how to use promotions on Payhip!

The pictured garment was made with Hope's Favorite by Hopemade Yarns, in the color Windswept. It's an 80/10/10 blend of extrafine merino, cashmere, and recycled nylon. Hope herself is modeling the garment, and the photo was by her creative partner Keisha Bond of Simply Vintage Designs.

Squamish's written pattern uses a creative, nontraditional format geared towards visual thinkers. Traditional knitting instructions are also available if you prefer. Either way, once you get the hang of the rhythm it is a relaxing and mesmerizing knitting experience.

Knitters generally use stitch markers to help them navigate this pattern, but every knitter seems to have a different opinion about where they should go. So although I do suggest stitch markers, I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what placement you like best.

Printing the pattern - Some of the pages in this pattern are in landscape orientation. Some printers default to printing everything in portrait. Please check your printer settings and verify that it prints pages in both portrait and landscape.

You should see two files for each design: 1) main pattern, 2) printer-friendly standard format instructions. If not, please get in touch.
