Meaning of MC and CC in slip stitch pattern?

#1

Hi,

Could anyone please help me understand the directions ‘with MC’ and ‘with CC’ in the following pattern for knitting the slipstitch border. I understand the wyif and wyib (with yarn in front/back)

Many thanks

MC - Main color
CC - Contrast color

Ah thank you. I considered that but the picture and directions use only 1 colour.

Thanks again

It looks like there are two colors in the border part of the sweater and hat. But they don’t make things real clear.

What a delightful pattern. I have a friend who is expecting a baby girl next month. That could be a quick “I’m sick of this sweater” project.

I like it - I am such a new knitter every project is full of firsts and challenges. I have just started this in a dark rusty red with white trim (It is for an unborn baby so I am going gender neutral with the colour) . Let me know if you decide to make it - I could do with the help!
