NotesThis pattern can easily be adjusted to be larger or smaller by changing the stitch count in multiples of 8.

If using the recommended yarn, be aware that the dye residue may rub off onto your hand but it washes off easily. It had been suggested to soak the project in water and vinegar to help keep the colors from transferring.

Don’t be intimidated by the look of this multi-colored project! The dots are knitted using the mosaic technique in which you slip stitches and only knit with one color at a time. Get the look of intarsia without the work!
