PATTERN NOTES
The Versa Blanket is worked flat in one piece from the bottom up. Color changes are made using the intarsia method. When switching to a new color, bring the old color up and around the new color, preventing any holes from forming in the piece. You will need to attach a separate ball of yarn for each color section. Join new balls and change colors as indicated in instructions.

The instructions for this pattern are divided into six even section to indicate color changes. A schematic is included to help you visualize the construction.
