When I finish the basic knit, I will use a crochet hook and a yarn hook to finish many of the details in the picture. Below are several examples

Bushes and Fall Foliage

The above chart shows the alternate fall colors in the bush. You can knit these in as you go, or use overlay stitches to add in the oranges and yellows as you like. Use a "half" overlay if you just want a touch of color. This is a matter of

taste. Try it, remember it can always be taken out.

Evergreen Tree

The above is just an illustration of what you can do. You DO NOT have to do any overlay stitches.

As you can see in the picture above I have illustrated an overlay stitch to give more detail to the fir branch. These can be made any length. They are made by

using a crochet hook. Below is an illustration of how the loops are formed.

Finishing Up!

1. Pick up rate for sides =[ : K3, skip 1, K 2, skip 1, K 3, skip 1 :], repeat

This turn 11 rows into 8 sts per inch.
