Have fun (and geek out) with the Morse Code Goodie Package we’ve put together for you!

Samuel F.B. (Finley Breese) Morse invented the original Morse Code in the 1830s. As we know it today, the dots and dashes of Morse Code translate well for slip stitch color patterns, making it easy to write something in your knitting. But what would you write? After much thought, I decided to write knitting terms that are included in almost every pattern. Each broad stripe ends with three lines of Morse Code that repeat a single knitting term. From right to left, the shawl reads Needles, Yarn, Cast On, Knit, Purl, and Bind Off. What looks like a simple slip stitch pattern also speaks to our love of the craft.

Finley Breese is an ample asymmetric triangle knit from the upper right tip in cosy garter stitch. All shaping is done on right side rows making it an easy knit. The color changes and slip stitch pattern create just enough interest to keep it from getting boring. Finley Breese can be knit with as few as two colors or as many as twelve. The pattern includes suggestions for different coloring options plus a coloring schematic to test out your ideas before casting on. The pattern is both charted and written out.
