Which way are the columns pointing? Can you see hexagons ... or octagons ... something else? If you can knit garter stitch, you can make this. It is very easy to knit in seven columns which are then joined together, making it a very portable project. Any yarn can be used. The original was Aran weight. If you use a thinner yarn you may need to add extra rows and/or columns. The pattern comes with an outline drawing for you to try out your own colour combinations.
