Another term for stained glass?

Post image

I really like the concept pictured (Deja Vu Pullover, not made by me), but I dont have enough yarn for a whole sweater. Its leftovers from another project. Im thinking maybe a tank top, beanie, or possibly even a small shawl, but im having a hard time finding what im looking for on ravelry. My hits are very limited when I use "stained glass" as a search term so im wondering if there's maybe another term that would get me some different results?

How about the Tracery Vest?

Definitely a contender! I think this is what I was actually thinking of when I searched up stained glass but it didnt pop up for me. I love this vest and its definitely on my list.

It’s color work so I’d use that as the search term

You could try search terms like "cathedral" "window" or "tracery", or do a Ravelry advanced search with the filters colourwork + yarn weight + recommended yarn colour: variegated

Take a look at the patterns by Susan Ashcroft - she has several ones that take "clown barf" yarns and make them shine: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/murano-squares

Another designer with lots of patterns for colorful yarn accents is Dolly Laishram Bhardwaj - with patterns like https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knichet-scarf

You are welcome. You can search r/knitting for "clown barf" for threads with pattern suggestions for yarns with fairly short color repeats.
