Hyla, version 3

Here’s version three of the Hyla charted design.

I’m going to post several variations over several weeks; I liked them all and I think they’ll combine well, too. Here’s the others:

How the Hyla chart might look as stranded knitting. Stylized wavy vertical lines are mirrored so that there are regular almost-ovals between them. In those spaces, there's shapes like mirrored angle brackets with a dot in the middle. There are even more dots added to the pattern in version 3.

  • Hyla, version 3, has a repeat of 14 + 1 columns and 10 + 1 rows.
  • In the written instructions, color A is the light squares above, and color B is the dark.
  • The written instructions below are formatted for stranded knitting, but it is my hope that they could be translated into instructions for other crafts. For instance, if working filet crochet, 1A could be one open square and 2B could be two filled-in squares.
  • This pattern is written in rounds, but because each row has mirror symmetry, the colors can be read in flat rows as written. If knitting, just work purl stitches on alternating rows instead of knit.
  • Designers, please feel free to use this in your patterns (no need to ask). I’d like credit but won’t be offended if people don’t give it.
