This week’s pattern for the Walker Treasury Project is Track of the Turtle. Here is Version I
and here is Version II.
The two versions are created in very similar ways, but Version I has “rest rows” in which you just purl back without any patterning, and Version II does not. I feel like Version I is a well-used pattern, and that I’ve seen it all over the place, but I can’t think of any good examples at the moment. Can you think of any?
The name didn’t make any sense to me until I saw this. Now I get it.

I like version one. I could see that working really well for a beret or sweater. Or most anything really.
