This fun knit, with a lovely traditional motif design, comes with two different color ways and two gauges to choose from. You will see an X or a diamond shape depending on which color is the motif and which is the background. The neck warmer is made by casting on with waste yarn then changing to stranded knitting following a chart. When finished the beginning stitches are picked up and waste yarn is removed. Then the ends are Kitchener stitched together with or without a twist. Version two has a twist.
