    SPECIAL STITCHES 

    Stranded Knitting or Fair Isle Technique: these patterns may appear intricate, but they’re simply crafted in stockinette stitch with a two-color-per-round approach: one hue for the motifs and another for the backdrop. The yarn not currently in use is carried, or ‘stranded’, across the back of the active stitches, remaining concealed on the fabric’s right side. These carried yarns form ‘floats’ behind the stitches, resulting in a denser and cozier material than single-yarn knitting, though with a bit less give.

    NOTES
