This is the preliminary publication of this knitting pattern. It is NOT done yet! I’m posting it to share for anyone who would like to get a head start. If you can’t figure out what to do, a stitch abbreviation or anything else, I can’t help you. You can leave a comment but I won’t respond. All questions will be answered when the video for the mushroom motif is done. I’m editing it NOW!!
For this pattern, you’ll need to pull the stitches together so the mushroom stands out from the background. To do this, pass the yarn behind your work and catch it behind when knitting on the right side. It’s done the same way you do any colour work when knitting. Only with this, pull it snug – tighter than you normally would if making a flat colour motif. Videos are in the works to show you how to do this.
