By StitchingLab ·
This 50×50 chart finishes at roughly 10×8 inches in worsted-weight stranded knitting, using 2 colors — a clean two-color project — a good first counted chart. In fair-isle knitting this works as a repeating band or a single centered motif. The grid, materials estimate, and written row-by-row instructions below are all free; open the chart in the editor to resize it or swap the palette to yarns you already own.
