One of Kaffe's brilliantly fun designs, "Ping Pong," is a wonderful summer romp of deep pastel circles accented with bright centers on a sea green background. The design appeared in Rowan Knitting Magazine 23 in the Spring of 1998. Here we offer the more colorful man's version. Ping Pong is knit in the intarsia technique out of Rowan's DK Cotton. Rated for intermediate knitters, the pattern is appropriate for anyone comfortable with the intarsia technique. Featuring simple oversized shaping, striped rib bands, and a crew neck, this design still looks fresh and contemporary today with it's multi colored "targets" and rich background. The pattern comes in three sizes - Medium with a finished chest/bust of 50 inches, Large with a finished chest/bust of 52 inches, and XLarge with a finished chest/bust of 54 inches. By knitting the woman's size from the chart you could easily create a smaller version. Although this colorway is shown on a man, we think it would be equally suited for a woman. Knit entirely from Rowan Handknit DK Cotton, a soft 100% cotton yarn that comes in 50 gram skeins. Our kit contains all the yarn you require to make the largest size in Kaffe's original colors. The pattern calls for a tension of 20 stitches and 28 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 3 (3.5mm) needles.

Technique: Intarsia
Difficulty: Intermediate
Rarity: Many of the colors in this kit have been discontinued for quite some time, making it difficult to assemble all the colors you need. It took us three years to find the last shades we needed - and they came from Germany. Don't miss this opportunity to create one of Kaffe's exciting designs in the original colors.
