Fair Isle Tote

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Chunky

GAUGE:

13 sts + 16 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) and Fair Isle pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Carry colors not in use loosely across WS of work. Pick up new color from under old color to twist yarns and prevent holes.
