The pattern is designed to use Landscapes yarn. It stripes evenly, changing colors as you work. If you want to change the stripe pattern you can change the number of stitches cast on.

The long stitch is made by making yarn wraps around the needle on one row and dropping wraps on the next row.

It is extremely fast to make with size US 12 or 13 needles. It makes a wonderful gift that will bring lots of praise. I love the design and love knitting it up!
