At the end of a row, tie in new color and continue in pattern. In Scandinavian, Fair Isle or Ski patterns the additional colors are carried on the wrong side of work. Designs of this type are usually worked from a chart with a color code. When changing colors always twist yarns around each other to prevent a hole. If color is carried over more than 4 sts, the carried color should be twisted around the yarn that is being worked to prevent loose lengths on wrong side. Twist the yarn in following manner; pick up carried color, before knitting st in usual manner twist over yarn that is carried. Cut colors only when you are through with that color leaving about a 4 or 5 inch length to be fastened later with a yarn sewing needle. If designs to be worked are separated or only 1 design is worked in a corner of garment, use bobbins (see [page 6]) to work design.
