This is such a cool pattern!! I made the regular Noro striped scarf last year for a friend. I’ve queued this one up for myself!

I’m interested in the knitted border pattern on the top of your blog page. It’s in tri-color: eggplant, green 3 row of ribbing (I think) and 4th row something else?
Thanks for reading,

knittingknewbie,
I should’ve also asked what brand of yarn and color you knit the pattern stitch you use as the top of your blog border. 3-color eggplant/purple, green, tan.
Thanks again,
