Color on the BOND-Part 3: More Fair Isle and Weaving in Floats

There is a beloved Scandinavian pattern of scattered, single stitches of a different color called “Little Lice” or “Little Birds.” You’ll recognize it when you see it.

This technique can leave long “floats,” the yarn lengths between the contrast color stitches. Fortunately, you can “catch” those floats behind other stitches to make them more manageable.

  1. Yes Sheila, it was done on the BOND and I made a second one in a different colorway for my friend who owned the local yarn shop. We used to wear them to trade shows together. We turned a few heads. 😉
