Q When the second colour is required, insert the right hand needle into the next stitch and draw a loop through from the yarn held in the left hand, carrying the yarn in the right hand loosely across the wrong side until next required. 3 On a purl row, work as usual with the first colour held in the right hand, holding the second colour in the left hand. ‘To purt a stitch in the second colour insert the right hand needle into the next stitch purways and draw loop through 4 rom he yarn held in the loft hand, I thee are more than 6 itches worked in one colour, cross the yarns over each other on every 3rd or 4th stitch to avoid long, loose strands. you find it awkward to hold the yarns in both hands, simply work as usual, dropping the yarn notin use and picking itp again when roquired, making sure that itis not pulled too tightly across the wrong side.

The seam is sewn trom the right side so itis easy to see how to keep it straight and neat. 1. Put the two pieces next to each other, right side up and edges together. 2. Thread a woo! needle with a long length of yarn 3. Work one whole stitch (V shape) in from the edge and leave along end before beginning to sew. 4. Put the needle between the edge stitch and the second stitch on the first row. Pass the needle under 2 rows (2 cross bars), then bring it back through to the front. 5. Repeat step 4 on the other piece, 6. Swap from side to side, always going into the hole that the last stitch on that side came out of, Always go under 2 rows - be careful not to miss any rows, 7. Keep the seam firm but do not pull the yarn too tightly, 8. When the seams finished, sew in ends. Credits BR ie Pets & the City Panda Yarns (AoIviION OF AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY SPINNERS PTY.

When using this method, you will need a separate ball for each section of colour. The colour twist method involves twisting the different coloured yarns over each other to prevent holes. Twist the colour to be used underneath and to the right of the colour just used. Always change colours on the wrong side of work so colour change does nat show on right side. ath alt 4th 54 74 74 6th 4th 6th 52 60 72 23 28 93 38 98 40 40 43/44) 48 899 ar) l | | 10 | 2 9 10 10) 12 | 42 completed tuxedo front view
