I used Cascade BFL (100% Blue Faced Leicester Wool) and a US#8 (5.0 mm) needle.
For comparison, here’s both my RS and WS .
I love the way the RS looks! It was a complete surprise to me because I thought it was rather ordinary and I didn’t think much of it until I made this swatch.
A little aside on the way Knotions works.
Jill Bickers selects the stitch patterns for Stitchopedia, and then I knit them.
I really like this approach and I think it makes the magazine stronger. This is a great example! I would have passed this one right on by, but Jill knew better.
I also love how textured it is.
If I had this on, I’d be caught just staring at it maybe a million times a day. Or just rubbing it between two fingers. It’s really that beautiful.

About the Reviewer: Jody Richards
I’m the knitting-obsessed, crochet-loving, math-geeky, web-dev girl behind Knotions. I’m passionate about helping crafters become even better at what they love, whether that means understanding why a stitch works a certain way or discovering their next favorite yarn.
Crafting runs deep in my roots—my mom was an avid embroiderer and sewist, and she sparked my lifelong love of all things crafty. Since those early days, I’ve combined my degrees in Math and Computer Science with over two decades of experience in digital marketing to build Knotions into a place that’s both fun and informative.
My mission at Knotions is simple: to empower crafters to craft smarter. Let’s make something awesome together!
