Lattice Twist
Materials:
Main Colour x 2180 yards size 4 yarn
Colour A x 440 yards
Colour B x 440 yards
Border colour x 260 yards
This is very much a scrapghan, colours A&B can definitely be a mixture of tones/colours! The border can be the main colour or a contrasting colour (like A or B).
4.5mm needles (circular or straight are preferred, unless you have a 10inch set of double ended)
Stitch holders (I Use shoelaces, you could use scrap yarn)
Crochet hook or tool for preferred method of joining
Scissors
Ruler/ tape measure

Gauge!!!!
My blocks are 9sts by 12 rows to get me to a 2 inch perfect square. The pattern will work as long as your blocks are square.
Once that (hardest and most annoying) part is over, we’re ready to start making blocks!
This pattern can have all of the blocks made first and then joined, made in rows and then mattress stitched together (preferred) or done in a join as you go (not recommended). These are ranked in order of difficulty. The first method requires some planning but will give you a much nicer result.

A Note About The Pattern:

We all know that there’s more than one way to do this thing. You will find some suggestions on how to do the things in this pattern. I encourage you to try another way (should you think of one) to do what I have, attempted, to do here.

This pattern is worked completely in one gauge. That you find your closest approximation of this gauge is the MOST important thing for your success. None of these patterns have a specific yarn listed, which makes this of even greater importance. Do an entire square of 25 blocks and keep fiddling with the number of rows until you get it to a sort of square that you’re happy with, or at least use the recommended needles as per the yarn packaging (unless you have some fancy hand dyed stuff that doesn’t have that feature, then the former suggestion remains). Please also note that I have not included instructions on how to perform the techniques that are used. I’m not going to reinvent the wheel. If you don’t already know how to work intarsia, YouTube has loads of amazing tutorials listed on the subject (trust me, that bit is important).

Above all, use what you’re comfortable with. Would you rather use long carryovers for the Fair Isle technique than intarsia? Go on then! I didn’t like it, so I didn’t use it; but I am not you.
