Swatch Notes:
19 stitches each row (This is one full sequence).
No offset, because the yarn couldn't allow it. Instead, played with tension on the ends of row to make it work.

This is a great example of a variegated yarn that, though beautiful, does not work well with planned pooling. The color sequences are long, but more problematic, are the short color changes. This yarn only allows for 1 stitch per color. Though it is possible to make a pattern, it is very pixelated and hard to make out. Also, because each color is only one stitch, it was impossible to add an offset stitch. Instead, I had to play with the tension at the ends of rows or even "fudge" stitches to make it work.
I added 2 charts. One is with my sample sequence and the other with a larger sequence to get an idea of what a blanket could look like.
