This 60×60 chart finishes at roughly 12×9 inches in worsted-weight stranded knitting, using 2 colors — a clean two-color project — a good first counted chart. As stranded colorwork it drops into a yoke, hat band, or mitten back. The grid, materials estimate, and written row-by-row instructions below are all free; open the chart in the editor to resize it or swap the palette to yarns you already own.

Project kit
Gear this chart actually calls for
- Buy on Amazon →
Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Set
Stranded colorwork is easiest in the round; an interchangeable set covers every needle size the CYC chart maps to your yarn weight. — 4.5-5.5 mm (US 7-9)
- Buy on Amazon →
Tapestry Needles
Blunt-tip needles for weaving in the ends every color change leaves behind.
- Buy on Amazon →
Locking Stitch Markers
Mark pattern repeats, color-section starts, and the first stitch of the round so a miscount never survives a row.
- Buy on Amazon →
Yarn Ball Winder
Center-pull cakes feed evenly and stand still while you work — worth it once a project runs to many skeins. — 7 skeins wind into tidy center-pull cakes
- Buy on Amazon →
Sharp Yarn Snips
Small, sharp snips cut yarn clean at every color change — cleaner joins and easier weaving-in than scissors.
