Riverbero features a memorable slip stitch colourwork pattern. Worked sideways, the narrow panels and simple stitch pattern repeat make the pattern highly customisable for different yarn weights, gauges and sizes.

The pattern is provided in both written and charted format, and includes download links for photographic tutorials for the relevant techniques.

Fit is determined by row gauge if your gauge differs, simply work more or fewer panels to achieve the desired size.
