Intarsia is a technique that uses separate lengths of yarn for creating different sections of color on the same row. First, decide how many different color sections you want on the row and cut the same number of yarn lengths in the different colors. Each length of yarn should be about 2 to 3 yards (2 to 2.5 meters) long. Work in the first color (A) for desired length, then drop A and begin with color B, letting A hang down the wrong side. When you're done with B, then start with a new, separate length of another color (C) or another separate length of A and keep working across the row. When you turn and start working on the next row, you should have the color of yarn you need waiting for you when you work each color across.
