Intarsia
Definition
Colourwork technique using separate sections of colour with individual bobbins; yarns are not carried across the back. Always confirm whether a pattern uses UK or US terminology before starting. Swatch to verify gauge, then adjust hook size or tension to achieve the desired fabric and fit.
Examples
