Colour pattern

Use 14 shades of orange yarn, beginning with the darkest, and working 6 rows of each, then reversing colours starting with 2nd lightest shade. Rows 1 – 4 are not part of the colour pattern and should be worked in the darkest shade (in other words, the darkest yarn will be worked over 10 rows each time, not 6)

Cast on any number of stitches divisible by 8, plus 8 more for the edges.
