Row 5: Repeat Row 1 

Repeat Rows 2-5 until you run through all of the colors. When you finish one color, move to the next color listed in the same column. Be sure to work both Rows 2 and 3, or Rows 4 and 5, in the same color before moving onto the next color in the column. It’s ok if the Color A yarn doesn’t end at the same time as the paired Color B yarn – that adds to the uniqueness of your garment!

When you have used all 10g skeins, BO after working an even row.

Cut yarn. Weave in ends using tapestry needle.
