CHANGING COLOUR

An image of the back has been included to show the wrapping of wool.


Horizontal colour change is the easiest as it just involves tying on a new colour and cutting off the old so you are only ever working with one colour. 

Vertical colour changes are slightly more complex as if the intervals are at more than 2 stitches you have to remember to wrap the colour not in use to keep the tension. 

Working diagonally is similar to working both horizontally and vertically. You have to remember to wrap the thread but once wrapped you only work with one thread as there are separate chunks of colour.

Perfect circles are very difficult as 1 stitch down is not equivalent to one stitch across so different horizontal and vertical measurements have to be taken into account.
