#1-3:
these are more or less conventional single and bi-colour patterns
#4-8: these modern variations exploit
changes in colour and texture of variegated yarn as it passes through
the fingers – the hook is inserted under the back or front

the surface respectively.

can also be used to emphasize or disguise tonal differences in a
variegated smooth (#7 & #8) or textured (#9) yarn
