I love the chevron pattern big and small, wide and narrow.
My recent published pattern Charlie Chevron Stripe Scarf was a primer and study using Fibonacci numbers for the widths of stripes, for an upcoming afghan blanket project.
As a breif recap........ Fibonacci numbers developed by Fibonacci Leonardo of Pisa in 1202, published a hypothetical math problem about multiplying rabbits and came up with the mathmatical numbering sequence. This sequence of numbers can be found throughout nature: branches on trees, leaves on braches, petals on flowers, etc. It is acclaimed that the use of the numbers in the sequence always produces something visully appealing.
The number sequence is as follows:
0,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. 13. 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 and so on.
The sequence is the sum of the two numbers before starting with zero and one.
0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2= 3, 2+3=5 and so on.
My Charlie Scarf (which is now available on Ravelry) was my method for testing out a substantially larger blanket sized knitting project. And with some tweeks, I have it all planned out and ready to go......as soon as I finish my Retro Crochet Afghan, that I started last winter (only about 20 rows to go).
With the chilly weather, I may be able to get my Retro afghan finished this coming weekend. Sweet!
