Friday Night Mystery Knit #10

I hope you enjoy taking part in this latest Mystery Knit. 😊

The mystery is not really about what you will make - but more about how the stitch pattern will look.

This design works best with 2 quite strongly contrasting colours.

I had a good result with Royal Blue and White 

and with Emerald Green and White. 

Pale Pastel Pink and White was disappointing as there was not enough contract between the 2 colours. 

TOP TIP ~ When you slip the stitches on row 11, 13 etc. keep the yarn at the BACK of the work. 
HAVE FUN !
