CHART NOTES
The charted pattern is worked in St st in the round. Each square represents one stitch and each row in the chart represents one round or row of knitting. When changing colors, strand the unused yarn loosely on the back of the work, making sure the tension remains even. To avoid long floats, twist the working yarns around each other after every 2 to 3 stitches. Chart has a repeat of 16 sts and 62 rnds.

Work in St st and stripes (2 rnds in Light Gray, 3 rnds in Medium Gray heather, and 6 rnds in Purple), then begin working Chart Pattern beginning on row 22. At the same time, decrease for instep as follows:
