Notes
In the colorwork, hold A as the background color and B as the foreground color. In order to make the colorwork lay flat, make sure to twist the two strands of yarn together if knitting more than 4 continuous stitches in one color. If you’re new to Fair Isle type colorwork, a great tutorial is: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/FEATwin06TT.html
In the colorwork diagram, the black squares indicate decreased stitches.
