Carnaval Chevron

This stitch is meant as an hommage to Quebec City's Winter Carnival where brightly colored woven belts (sometimes scarves) are worn as an homage to the local handweaving tradition. There is a motif quite specific, and though it could be reproduced with complex intarsia, I meant to make an asymetric chevron to mimic, in a basic, simplified way, the look of the technique. This stitch is also meant to have stripes of variying widths, but I'm going to start with the stitch and see where it leads.
