Instructions:
Motifs may be worked in Fair Isle or embroidered when garment is completed.
When working Fair Isle use separate balls of the contrasting colours for
each motif. Always twist the wools round each other when changing colour
to avoid leaving a hole.
Knitters may find it easier to ensure a tight edge by knitting the first
and last stitches on every purl row.
