How to work a 7-stitch float - Work your 7 purl sts, and arrange them evenly across your right hand needle so they’re not bunched up or stretched out. Gently bring your MC yarn across the 7 sts without pulling and work your knit stitches. The float should rest against the purl stitches without being too loose or too stretched.
