PATTERN NOTES
Be consistent with how you hold the yarns. Keep Colour C closest to the fabric with Colour A on top. This ensures the motif looks crisp and clear. Floats are the strands of yarn you carry behind your work when you are not using a particular colour. Make sure your floats are nicely even and loose. Blocking can solve a few problems with tight floats, but trying to keep your floats relaxed is a great start.
Colourwork gauge may be tighter than your normal gauge, so check this when you have worked a few rounds. This pattern is designed with Nordic knitting traditions in mind. Traditional Nordic colourwork is famous for its high contrast between its colours. If you decide to change the colours, make sure there is sufficient contrast between them.
