Merino gradient’s colors flow into each other from a light through speckled and variegated shades to a dark one by working a few rows of half-and-half motifs for smoother transitions.
The gauge is not crucial, but it will change the finished size, and may affect yarn consumption - how many rows can be worked with each color.
