NOTES
Cardigan is worked in rows from the top down in one piece. Work separates for the Body and Sleeves at the end of the Yoke.
When working the Body, refer to the Charts on page 80, for the dinosaur and footprint patterns. Each small square represents 1dc. Read all RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right. Change colour on the final yrh before colour change is indicated. Carry the unused colours across the top of your sts, enclosing the strand as you work. The first few rows of the Charts have been written out to guide you.
