Specify stripe heights in rows or measured length and mark the full sequence repeat. Keep color joins and end placement in the plan.

## Before you start

Have the complete instructions, a short list of unfamiliar actions and the materials for a trial. Separate the trial from the final project.

## Try this example

A sequence of 2, 4 and 2 rows repeats every 8 rows. Across 80 rows it repeats ten times; each outer color uses 20 rows and the middle color 40.

## Check your result

- Try the unfamiliar action before committing the main material. If the instructions leave a necessary choice unresolved, write down the missing information and resolve it first.
- A planning exercise is not a complete tested pattern. Project fit, construction and quantities still need their own instructions.
