When I stumbled across this ombre knit bandana on Ravelry, I was mesmerized. I have a love of all things ombre but to achieve a great knit or crochet gradient my heart starts to beat fast and I begin to imagine the horror of color work (which I’m hell bent on mastering) and finishing all the ends. As I began to read more about this pattern I learned that this is a single strand design and it’s all about DIY gradient yarn. You can create a complex look with very minimal effort. Best of all Xandy Peters gives great step-by-step how to dye your own gradient yarn on her cool blog. I will be forcing Mary to have a yarn dyeing party soon!!
I am so trying that.
Brandy and I are going to give it a try this weekend!
Thanks for reposting! I really hope that you take pictures when you dye because i have hardly seen anything that others have made.
We had so much fun doing this on Saturday night. We did 5 balls total. Wait until you see the one we did where we rewound one of the balls inside out after the first dye, then dyed it a different color. We will put some pictures up next week! Thanks for the great directions!
