♡ MY COLORWORK INSTRUCTIONS ♡
this project must be done in HDC & 1 graph square = 1 HDC
graphics must start on an odd row
even numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are right handed
odd numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are left handed
read the graph from right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows
if you make the graphic into a plain tapestry, I would suggest a starting chain of 6 more than the graph to leave 3 on each side, plus one turning chain each row; I would suggest starting graph on row 3 and working two blank rows after the graph is completed
add it to my pair of vests pattern — start big graph on row 3 [3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 9] and stitch 3 (6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21)

graph is 22 rows by 56 stitches
using gray for the background; you will need about 100g black (& 200g background color if doing a tapestry as listed above) in medium worsted weight yarn (4)
with 5mm hook & the following gauge: 5 rows of 6 hdc = 2x2” you should have a finished graphic 9 inches tall and 19 inches wide
try it on the back of my classic cardigan pattern (or any of the graphic variations of it!) ♡ click here to get it!
