PATTERN NOTES
When working from the Chart, read RS
rows from right to left and WS rows from
left to right.
Use the Fairisle technique to strand the
yarn across the WS of the work. Always
carry the unused yarn to the end of the
row, even if no stitches are to be worked
in this yarn, to ensure that the fabric is the
same thickness throughout.
