Notes from the Designer:

Choose your own adventure!

I loved seeing those words on a book cover when I was a kid. These clever stories were written so that at the end of each chapter, the reader could choose an option about how the story should progress. Your choice determined what chapter you read next. The mix-and-match possibilities meant one book could tell a story many ways.

Chandi challenged me to interpret that very phrase, “choose your own adventure,” into a knit or crochet pattern. That was the first choice: knit or crochet? And I chose both so that everyone could join in the fun! (If you’d like to choose an adventure in crochet, check out the Appetency pattern.)

I’ve provided fourteen stitch patterns that each represent a possible aspect of an adventure. As you answer the following questions, your choices will take you on your journey to create a design that is uniquely yours. Let’s get started!

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” – Helen Keller
