Design: Oakleaf

Instructions:
This design is knitted from written instructions combined with graphs. Graphs are large A3 black and white bold and easy to follow. Colour placements are given A to D or E with symbols for smaller areas of colour. Some measurements are reliant upon your tension, and some maths has to be applied for correct placement of pattern at neck shaping. Examples are given and the results are worth the experience.

Technique: Intarsia

Tension: 22.5sts to 10cm om 4mm ndls

Notes/Tips/Tricks:
Intarsia working in 2 or more colors on a stocking stitch base. Pattern is worked from a graph, each square on the graph is a stitch. An individual ball/ length of yarn is used per area of color, yarn is carried for placement for pattern. Fairisle - technique may be used over smaller areas of pattern. This is the carrying of one yarn behind another, the yarn being carried has to be woven into the back of the knitting. Be aware as the weaving can distort the knitting and alter row tension and should not be used over larger areas. If in doubt work the sleeve first, this allows you to also double check your tension.
