Hello lovely crafter! I can’t believe the Colour Lab CAL is already over, but there is a way to ride the wave for a little while longer. With every Scheepjes CAL there is a small bonus pattern, and today I want to share mine with you. I wrote the Rosalind Motif just for you all, and I hope you enjoy it!
This motif is a great way to use up leftover remnants of your Scrumptious Kit if you got one, or just add it to your pattern collection as a freebie on me.
The name comes from British chemist and X-ray crystallographer, Rosalind Franklin, whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA. Unfortunately, her discovery of the structure of DNA went largely unrecognized during her life, as others took credit for her works.
Note: I made a full blanket with this motif! That FO Post will be live next Wednesday for you to check out!

Scheepjes Scrumptious Yarn
Head to WoolWarehouse to shop Scrumptious through my affiliate link.
I used the remainder of my Scrumptious Kit to make my blanket, but you can use stash yarn or get yourself about 9 or 10 full balls in all different colors. Keep in mind, each motif uses 3 colors, so you want to be sure you can mix it up.
Repeat and Bracket Guide
Square brackets [ ] are used for small repeats: 4dc, [2dc, 3tr, 2dc] 2 times
Asterisks *are used for repeats that include small repeats: *5dc, [1ch, 1dc] 3 times in next ch, rep from * 3 times
Round brackets ( ) are used when a string of stitches are worked into the same spot: (3tr, 3ch, 3tr) in next st
Stitch Counts are given at the end of rows where necessary, in the following format: [12 dc, 3 sp]
Tips and Notes
- Weave your ends after each time you cut the yarn to avoid having to do them all at the end.
- Please read the stitch guide for any abbreviations.
- To get a neater result, I do not “chain up” for the first sc of the round/row. Jump straight into the first sc.
