Tip if you’re making Red Oak: There are a few WS decreases sprinkled into the chart, so be careful not to miss them. They’re on rows 25, 31, 51, 57, 77, 83, 103, 109, 129, and 135. I also think it’s helpful to swatch the chart.

Swatch was in Ariosa on US 9 needles, but the sample is in Elann Peruvian Highland Wool Chunky on US 8 needles. This is a piece for Twist Collective’s Fall 2010 issue, due out in August.
