NOTES

  • This wrap is worked back and forth from end to end.

  • The colorwork chart is worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color; this will prevent tangling. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than two stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work.
