For this project you will need:
- HOOK: Any size but I used 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US
- YARN: Any size but I used worsted weight yarn, 4 ply US, 10 ply AU
For this stitch you are using 2 colors. The 2nd color traces the first row like a shadow hence the name Shadow Tracery.
You will need two different color yarns.
- A = Main Color
- B = Secondary Color
In this project you will be working on the Right and Wrong side, make sure before each row you are working with the correct color and side mentioned. Don’t cut your yarn at the end of a row but drop it and pick it back up later.
