Notes
· If using mini skeins, change when you feel necessary, using as much as possible. Please note that ALL of the yardage from the sock skein is used with very little extra. ■ Use contrasting/coordinating colors Ignore color changes for a single color garment ? Use Color B for all eyelet wedges instead or in addition to lateral braid sections ? Change colors as often as you like for a stripy shawl ■ Great stash buster ■ Knit eyelet rows with contrast color ■ Multi-color variegated, speckled or solids...anything will be beautiful ■ Mix different colors for the braid stitch rows Repeat directions marked with an asterisk (\*) Easy & flexible pattern...don't stress about stitch counts or eyelet counts, very forgiving if off a stitch or two ·German Short Rows are used for the w&t but feel free to use any method preferred
