I&#8217;m thinking green for the bottom half and blue for the top, and a pixelated gradient between the two, and white snowflakes on the blue.<\/p>\n<p>Challenge 1: all the snowflake patterns I find are for eight-armed snowflakes, which are easy to design but not what snowflakes look like. I want anatomically correct snowflakes, more or less. Finally I found a second-hand sweater for sale on an auction site, that had six-armed snowflakes on it. The photos were sharp enough for me to copy the pattern from them. Yay!<\/p>\n<p>Challenge 2: none of the pixelated gradient patterns I found look like what I want. They have a bit of a gradient but the actual transition from one colour to another is too sudden. I want something softer. I may have to make my own pattern for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrian wants a knitted poncho.
