To read from the chart in Double Knit, each square represents TWO stitches. On right side rows: For blank squares, the first stitch will be knit with Color A (black in this case) with both strands at back of work, and the second stitch will be purled with color B (pink in this case), with both strands at the front of work. For a solid square, the first stitch will be knit with Color B (pink in this case) with both strands at back of work, and the second st will be purled with color A (black in this case), with both strands at the front of the work.
On Wrong side rows, the colors will be reversed.
