How To Work Design Colored Pattern Knitting: This method is used for large areas of each color and background, using small balls of color for each area. Work required number of sts, drop color in use to be picked up on next row, bring new color under and over last color, thus avoiding a hole in the knitting.

NOTE: Instructions are given for the smallest size and remaining sizes are given in the brackets following. Where only one set of instructions are given, this will apply to all sizes. Every square on the graph represents a stitch. Changes in color are shown by dif- ferent symbols. Follow graph from right to left for knit rows and left to right for purl rows. When graph shows an extra square, increase one stitch, one square less, decrease one stitch. Decreases of more than one stitch must be cast off at the beginning of the row. Stitches are either knit or purled as they are cast off, this will account for one row of squares. Ribbing is not included on the graph, but is explained in the instructions.
