After the basic pattern has been created choose which of your two yarn Colours you will start with. This will be your “background Colour” The other Colour will be the “pattern Colour”. We’ll call them “Colour 1” and “Colour 2”. For this set Colour 1 will be Chocolate and Colour 2 will be bone.

The trick to shadow knitting is in reading the pattern. Each single row in the pattern represents 4 knitted rows.
