It’s lovely - looks very intricate! I’m in awe of anyone who can manage patterns like that.

I've used similar to knit items for the DGD when they were young, it's fascinating how it turns out.

Yes, variegated yarn. 🧶

So pretty .
I wonder ìf I can make a blanket in that pattern if I try .

It's self patterning yarn, I think.

However, if so, it would look different on different sized items.

It's lovely.

I knitted something similar in a baby pattern for the DGD, it's a very pretty stitch.
