Tapestry needleInstructions:
With one strand of A and B held together, CO 26 sts. K 1 row. K 21 more rows, slipping the first st of each row as if to purl.
Repeat these 22 rows in the following sequence:
Colors C and D
Colors A and B
Colors C and B
Colors A and B
Colors C and D
Colors A and B
Colors C and B
Colors A and B
Colors C and DBO.
With D, beg in the middle of the WS, weave around each color section in and out about every 4 sts. Keeping tension fairly even, pull and knot on WS. Work around the section. Start in the middle of the back so you
could knot it there and have it be a little less noticeable but it will really
blend in invisibly. Pull each end of the yarn you wove in so the knitting pulls
in around the section. It's the same principle as weaving in elastic yarn
in the ribbing of a sweater only pull a little harder.Weave in ends on WS.
