The Fair Isle method allows

you to use two colours across

one row by stranding the yarn

not in use along the back until

it’s needed. When working

this pattern, make sure that

the unused yarn is stranded

loosely across the back of your

work so you don’t end up with

stitches that are too tight. Also,

try to keep all the strands in

the same relative positions

when you’re changing

colours – this will help to stop

you getting all twisted up!
