Size 7 Circulars Knitting Worsted Weight Yarn

Approximately 42 oz of Red Heart Fiesta Celery. Approximately 24 oz Red Heart Super Saver Country Rose. Approximately 24 oz Red Heart Super Saver Plum Heather (or colors & yarn of your choice),

Cast on 328 Stitches in Celery. I have given directions for a Moss Stitch border here. You can do any border of your choice before beginning pattern. I did a scalloped border on mine, but it curled badly so decided a Moss Stitch border would be better. You can add fringe or crochet around it as you like.

Knit 10 rows of Moss Stitch with Celery for border. Keeping a 10 stitch side border throughout continue in pattern changing colors at each panel. Pattern 1 is done in Celery for all 3 panels. Pattern 2 is done in Country Rose for the first panel and Plum Heather for the second panel.

Knit 10 in moss st, place marker, Knit Pattern 1 over 60 stitches, pm, Knit Pattern 2 over 64 stitches, pm, Knit Pattern 1 over 60 stitches, pm, Knit Pattern 2 over 64 stitches, pm Knit pattern 1 over 60 stitches, pm, K 10. Once you have worked one pattern repeat, you can discard the markers as the color changes will be your marker.
