DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.NOTES:
To begin working with the O’Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O’Go meet.
Pull tie to remove and start knitting.
When joining new O’Gos, try to join shade at same point in stripe repeat to keep continuity of the color repeat.
Extra yarn pulled out for matching stripes can be rejoined later when appropriate.
Every row is worked with either MC or A.
When slipping sts, hold yarn in back of work on RS and yarn in front of work on WS.
Carry yarn when not in use loosely up side of work, taking new color from behind old color, being careful not to twist strands, when changing yarns at beg of row.
When carrying yarn behind/in front of slipped sts, be sure yarn is loose enough to maintain gauge and prevent work from puckering.
