It's important you understand intarsia knitting before beginning this pattern. T
here is no set way to knit each row. Feel free to improvise as you knit. Knit wi
th lengths of yarn about 3 to 12 feet. Generally, three different colors are use
d in every row. For row 1, knit 22 stitches with the first color, 22 stitches wi
