To connect multi-colored patterns, change the tone of the yarn after completing the repeat in height.
Zones with decreasing loops change along with the added ones acquired from yarn overs and form filigree stripes.

Subsequent 1 cycle of purl.
In 2 layers (outer area), after the first 3 loops, cast over the knitting needle, the next 6 loops, 2 each together with the outer one, tilted to the right side (like cross loops, behind 2 back walls), k1. p., knit the next 6 loops according to 2 together with a tilt to the left side, then make 3 throws using 1 persons.
