This pattern is written for straight needles, with the front and back worked separately. Work the Upper and Lower Front and Back patts using stranded knitting, loosely holding the unused colour at back of work. Work motif charts using small balls or bobbins for each section of colour in the intarsia technique, making sure to twist yarns at changes to avoid holes.
