Clue 4 Final

Climbing Mountains
Gressman Original Clue 4: The Summit Awaits!

This clue is honoring Radia Perlman (Computer Science). Dr. Perlman obtained her Ph.D. in computer science
in 1988 from MIT. After graduating, she went to work for Digital Eq uipment Corporation (DEC), where she
made most of the conceptual innovations for which she is famous. These include protocols she designed in
the 1980s (IS-IS), which continue to be used for routing Internet Protocol (IP) to this day. To learn more
about her work click here:https://lemelson.mit.edu/resources/radia-perlman. To read a short bio click here:

top 50 women in STEM.

We're approaching higher elevations where the air is thin and physicial activity becomes a challenge. This
section looks familiar. Is it a mirage or thin air? No! It's an old friend revisited.
Designer Notes: Instructions for edge stitches do
not appear in this clue. Refer to Clue 1A if you
need a reminder of how to work your edges.
When 2 numbers are given, the first numbers is
for the scarf, the second number is for the cowl.
Mosaic Chart 3:
Mosaic Patterns are charted only.
Edge stitch(es) do not appear on chart.
Turquoise squares indicate MC
White squares indicate CC1.
You will only be working with 1 color at a time.
The color at the beginning of the chart indicates
the color you will be working.
Carry other colors loosely up side of work
Work stitches before the red line one time, work
stitches outlined in red 5, (11) times, then work
stitches after the red line one time.
Work the 18 row pattern only once.
You will be using CC1 for the section so you may
prefer to carry it loosely up the side instead of
cutting it.
At this point, instructions have been

divided into 2 separate patterns, the
first is for the Scarf beginning on page
3, the second is for the Cowl beginning
on page 7.
Scarf:
Using MC, keeping first and last stitch(es) in your desired border pattern K3 rows then work increase row.
Increase Row 4: K19, [M1, k17]x2. (55 sts not including edge stitches).
Use CC1 keeping first and last stitches in desired border pattern.
Pinnacle Chevron: Only a few more rows to go and you will reach the summit!
Optional chart appears on page 5.

Work these 16 rows 1 more time:
Blockweave: Oh, No! Those pesky boulders are blocking the path again! This is life, we think we have
arrived and something occurs to create a detour but we never stop moving toward our goals! Optional Chart
appears on page 6.
Cut CC1, Change to CC2
Note: if you would like to “chart your path through the boulders” there is a blank grid on page 6 for you to
use.

Go to page 10 and work one repeat of
the 18 row chart.
After completing Blockweave Chart:
using CC1, work 2 more repeats of
the 16 row pattern then finish off with
rows 17-20
CC1 will be used at the beginning of the

next clue so you may prefer to carry it

Optional: Use this grid to plan your way through the
boulders .For best results, work your path in one
repeat only and make the path in CC2 using
stockinette stitch. Keep established Blockweave

change occurs. Work the color change in stockinette
stitch as well.
Now continue on the path by returning to Pinnacle
Chevron Chart page 9.
Explanation of Optional Path Through the Boulders:
This design was meant to represent the path we follow as we journey through life. Sometimes we encounter
obstacles along the way that cause us detour, but hopefully never quit!
This path is meant to be personal to you. You should feel free to leave it out entirely, copy the example
provided below, use the same path you used in Clue 2 or create a new path here. Not every obstacle is
conquered by using the same tactics!
Ways to create your path:
• Use Fair Isle to create your path as you knit using a different color. Put your path in one repeat of the
Blockweave or any number of repeats.
• Use Intasia to create your path as you knit.
• Make your path in Stockinette Stitch using your working yarn and go back after you finish and high
light your path using duplicate stitch.
• Crochet your path using a chain stitch after you complete the section. Begin wherever you please and
end wherever it feels right for you.
• Bead your path!

Example of possible knit path:
The colored blocks are not meant to indicate which color to you, they are just to show you possible
placement.
Or use your crochet hook and chart your path:

Duplicate stitch over Stockinette Stitch works really well:
