NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com /interweave-knitting-glossary.

• The front and back of each ornament is worked in the round from the center out. The front is worked in a stranded colorwork pattern; the back is worked in a single color. The front and back are joined using an I-cord 3-needle bind-off.

• The stiffener for the samples was a plastic report cover cut into circles of the correct size. Use whatever rigid plastic or cardboard you have on hand that can easily be cut with scissors.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than five stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the piece.
