Joji designed this gorgeous cardigan to use a special set of yarns, creating a color sequence where one colour fades into the next. Of course, La Prairie can also be knitted in a solid colour. Instructions for colour changes are given separately.
PRO TIP: If you don’t want to buy extra skeins for size 4, 5 or 6, you can always change the number of colours you use.
Joji gives detailed instructions on how and when to fade, so instead of buying a second skein of all 5 colours, you can add a 6th colour separately (not included in the kits) and make each colour band a little bit shorter.
