6-Day Kid Blanket Swatch Tutorial - Viral Stripes (aka Half Snowflake Effect)

Описание: 6-Day Kid Blanket Swatch Tutorial with Betty McKnit - Viral Stripes (aka Half Snowflake Effect)
Always start with a SWATCH

If you change colors along with the pattern, you will need to plan your color changes, because if you don't you will either end up with uneven stripes, or unmatched top and bottom edge. The best way to account for it, is to

1) plan out your stripes so that the same color will start and end your stripe sequence
2) work row 1 with the same color as the first edge round.
3) after your last stripe, work rows 2 and 4 in the same color as the first edge round.
4) Square off the top and bottom with the same color as your first edge round
5) Work your first edge round with the same color
