Zebra Noah's Ark Zoo Knitting Pattern Snoo's Knits

This is a fun piece. It’s satisfying to see it developing on the needles as you knit. We’ll be using a particular technique which will keep the stripes fluid and natural.

Difficulty: Medium. The patterning involves some concentration and patience, and you will need to be able to work a pfb stitch. To make things easier, I have designed the zebra so that many of the purl rows are the same, meaning that you can look away from the pattern for a few minutes.

Stitches used: kfb, pfb, k2tog, p2tog

Skills required: Patterning with two different colours of yarn. Ideally, near the end of the pattern, you will know how to trap the spare yarn along the back of the work as you go. (It’s easy to find free video tutorials online which will teach you this technique quickly. Alternatively you can cut the yarns when you change colour and secure the loose ends when you've finished.)
