Mix and Match

One approach to mixingstitch patterns is to settle

on a couple of main

patterns you like and

then knit a swatch of

each using one or two

yarns in common. Then

select a pattern with a

shorter row repeat and

select a yarn in common

to one of the main motifs

and a contrasting yarn.

The swatch (right)has

been worked using three

stitch patterns; two are

repeated.
