Blue Sea

From Blue Sea by Kimberly Kalnoki, as shown in the Deep Fall 2021 issue of Knitty. Posted with the permission of Kimberly Kalnoki.

Note:

  • Alternate one row color A, and one row color B.
  • Stitch-Maps.com doesn’t have symbols that represent brLslUdec+kyok, so this stitch map uses 3-to-3 gather symbols instead. Work each of these “gathers” as follows: work a left-leaning double decrease (aka sl1-k2tog-psso), then return that stitch to the left needle and work (k1, yo, k1) into it.
