Short floats
Knitting - Basic Techniques

When the pattern is small, there are short f loats (strands being carried across the reverse side), and the pattern continues widthwise, the yarn can be carried loosely across the wrong side. IMPORTANT: When changing the yarn, always keep the main color below and the contrast color above.
Entwining the contrast color into the edge stitch, knit the 2 edge stitches with the main color. Holding the main color below, and the contrast color above, knit the next 2 stitches with the contrast color.
With the main color below, and the contrast color above, knit 1 with the main color; continue from chart across.
When working the first stitch with the main color, work with the contrast color held above the main color.
With the main color below and the contrast color above, knit 2 stitches with the contrast color.
With the main color below and the contrast color above, purl 1 stitch with the main color.
