???? After round 14, change to larger circular needles, for rounds 15-43. Change to smaller circular needles for remaining of stocking until toe. 

???? As you read through any of the instructions, you will repeat each round 3 times for 1 full round on the stocking. (notice the instructions only represent 28 stitches but you have 84 so naturally, 28*3 will get you around the stocking).

Leg

Continue in stockinette pattern following the colorwork chart, the colroblock chart, or the written instructions. 

Colorwork Chart

Biggest things to notice on this chart are the change in stitch counts after round 15 and round 43, Also, you might not be familiar with the ‘No Stitch’. That is simply a place in the chart where nothing happens. You will completely ignore those blocks are there, that is why they are in a forgettable gray color.

Notice that when you repeat the round 3 times you will have the correct number of stitches without those ‘No Stitch’ blocks.

Read the colorwork chart from the bottom to the top and always from right to left since you are working in the round.

Colorblock Chart

This is a new way to present colorwork knitting patterns. Very similar to a paint by number but you will be doing knit by color instead!

Again, Briana and I wanted to make sure you had every tool possible to accomplish this fun pattern. Let us know what you think of the colorblocks 🙂

NOTE: the colorblock chart does NOT show the K2tog on round 15 or the M1 on round 43 so make note of them.
