Photos Comprising Knit Side Instructions

Knit row:

1. The white yarn is being carried and the green yarn is being knitted, normally. (The white yarn is to the right, out of the way.)
2. Pull the white yarn in front of the green yarn, but behind the needle. Knit the green yarn; this has the effect of trapping the white yarn between the green yarn and the loop.
3. Complete knitting the green stitch of step 2.
4. Knitting the next green stitch. The white (carried yarn) is to the right out of the way for a few stitches in stranding.
5. The next few steps are a repeat showing the white yarn as the working yarn, and the green yarn as the carried yarn. The first step is a normal white knit stitch with the green yarn out of the way.
6. This is the second stitch in the pattern. The carried yarn (green) is pulled in front of the white yarn, but behind the needle. Knit the white yarn; this traps the green yarn between the white yarn and the loop.
