Pattern A is a repeat of 37 sts, although you can omit the
outer most leaves on each end for a repeat of 25. When worked
as shown, the pattern creates a nice "X" where the
chart repeats. Work leaves in muted green tones with a bright
center motif for a more floral-looking result.
Patterns B and C are straight forward vine and leaves pattern.
The 14-stitch repeat in Pattern B can be worked by stranding
your yarn or in duplicate stitch. Pattern C is an 18-stitch
pattern repeat. Any earth tone color will yield a pleasant
result. See the Vines
& Leaves Cardigan, for a pleasing color selection.
Use any of these pattern as allover motifs on a garment,
or as an edge color interest. Incorporated in a garment worked
sideways, Patterns B and C will be particularly striking.
Alternate bands of colored vines with bands of textured leaves
for a stunning nature-inspired creation.
