From the Pattern Introduction: Work this stitch in dark red and green yarns emphasized with white, or add holiday sparkle to a dark-colored yarn with metallic yarns. Many metallics are fine in weight so use two or more strands to match up with the weight of your main yarn.

Pattern repeat: This pattern is worked in a multiple of 18 + 1 stitches.

Notes on gauge: As with all of the stitch patterns in this book, the gauge is flexible depending on your yarn and needle choice.
