Two different colour yarns are knitted together. One yarn
appears on one side whilst the second yarn appears on the
other side of the fabric .
Plating in stockinet is predominant, but if you knit the
yarns in Tuck stitch, you can enjoy different effect of
fabric .
The sample is knitted with the Pattern No.l-(6).

Preparatory Steps given on pages 19-22, and the additional
instructions given below.
