Notes
I did not include my usual +10% to the yardages to give the knitter a better idea of the true yardage. Feel free to add more or fewer repeats by casting off after either rows 12 or 24 of the mosaic body repeat. Carry the unused color loosely while working, it will wrap into the i-cord edge. If not noted, slip marker as necessary.
