Stitches Used:
- k - knit
- ssk - slip slip knit
- k2tog - knit two together
How to Change Colour:
To change colour, lift the colour yarn you want to change to OVER the current working yarn from underneath, this will twist the two yarns together creating a neat join. See Video Tutorial for clarification.
Written Pattern:
- Cast on Row: Using your preferred cast on method (I use long-tail cast on), cast on an EVEN number of stitches.
- Row 1: Knit half your stitches, place stitch marker, knit remaining stitches. Turn
- Row 2 [CHANGE YARN COLOUR]: Knit to 2 stitches before marker, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, knit remaining stiches. Turn
- Rest of Square: Repeat rows 1 & 2 until 2 stitches remain. Remembering to alternate your colours at the beginning of each Row 2.
- Final Row: k2tog, break yarn and pull tail through, sew in ends.
