## Plan a small sample

 Repeat the 4-stitch unit across your work. For example, three repeats use 12 pattern stitches; add any edge stitches required by your chosen swatch method. Repeat the 4 chart rows as needed.

## Before you begin

 Choose a suitable colourwork technique. In stranded knitting, watch the unused yarn across the back and keep the fabric relaxed; long floats may need managing. This chart does not specify edge treatments, cast-on, bind-off or garment construction.

## Make the design yours

 Swap background and contrast colours, compare the repeat at different gauges, or try a small section in the browser chart maker. The preview is an illustration; the physical yarn sample decides the final result.
