Yarn and needles used: Red Heart Baby clouds (super bulky boucle), size US 13, 86st x 86 rows, finsihed size about 36” square, gauge 2.5st/in.

Using 2 color families, MC (medium blue and green in my sample)
and CC (pastel pink and yellow in my sample)

Always slip st with yarn on Wrong Side of work.
Odd rows are Right side rows.
MC is worked in garter st (k both sides)
CC is worked in stockinette (k RSR, p WSR)

Preparation row: cast on 8n+6 with CC and p 1 row.

Row 1, 9: MC: k.
Row 2, 3, 4: MC: k6, *sl2, k6*
Row 5, 7: CC: k6, *sl2, k6*
Row 6, 8: CC: p6, *sl2, p6*
Row 10, 11, 12: MC: k2, *sl2, k6* end sl2, k2

Row 14, 16: CC: p2, *sl2, p6* end sl2, p2


Any yarn may be used with appropriate size needles. Consider this pattern for highly textured yarns that won’t show cables or openwork. The WS is nice neat purl stripes. Would also make a nice scarf.
I recommend a single MC, with many CC’s from your stash.

I hope link to a pdf for this pattern in the future.
