’Abstract Balance’ is a symmetrical pattern created by using random shapes. The pattern is knit by using stranded colourwork.

There are very few occasions where you will need to catch your colourwork floats, so this is a great pattern for a beginner colourwork knitter, or for those who are wanting to strengthen their colourwork skills.
