Rosemount is a play on stripes and lace. From horizontal, two row, garter stitch stripes to stripes that run horizontal and vertical to lace, Rosemount is a fun way to play with stripes and colors. This pattern has been test knit and tech edited. The pattern includes both charts and row by row written instructions for the charts.

Yarn

Color 2: 370 yards/338 meters fingering weight yarn. Shown in Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock, Butcher’s Hill.

A note about color choices: If you want a subtle blend of stripes choose two colors that are similar in tone, as is shown in my pink & green sample. If you want a strong contrast in your stripes, choose two colors that are highly contrasting.
