Beg Colour Twist for Face
NOTE 1 -This technique is used to knit blocks of different colours. When using this method, you will need a separate ball for each section of colour. This involves twisting the different coloured yarns over each other to prevent holes. Twist the colour to be used underneath and to the right of the colour just used, and always change the colours on the wrong side of work so the change does not show on the right side.
