Instructions:
To prepare your yarn and make sure the colors are distributed evenly throughout the piece, make sure the starting color of the yarn is the same length as the ending color of the yarn. If the starting color is longer than the ending color, then cut the starting color down until it is the same length as the ending color.
CO 3
Row 1: P across
Row 2: K2, yo, K across
Row 3: P across
Increase Rounds:
Row 4: K2, yo, *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until end
Row 5: *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until last 3 sts, P across
Row 6: K2, yo, *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until last st, K1
Row 7: *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last 3 sts, P across
Repeat Rows 4-7 until piece measures approximately 19 inches wide, or your desired width for the point of the triangle. For the picture, I found the color of the yarn that was in the middle of the skein, then found the middle of that color before I started working it and placed a marker. When I reached the marker, I began the decrease rounds below, which makes the triangle point in the dead center of the center color yarn. Alternatively, if you want to have the triangle point at a color change, then begin the decrease rounds below when the colors change in the yarn.
Decrease Rounds:
Row 8: Ssk, K1, yo, ssk, *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last st, P1
Row 9: *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until last 3 sts, P across
Row 10: Ssk, K1, yo, ssk, *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * to end
Row 11: *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last 4 sts, P across
Repeat Rowa 8-11 until you only have 5 sts remaining
Row 12: Ssk, K1, yo, Ssk
Row 13: P across
Row 14: Ssk, K across
Row 15: P across
