What does "Break" in a pattern mean?

Postby Angelinwaiting74 » Sat Oct 27, 2012 3:35 pm

I decided to try a pattern on the sleeve around a holiday yarn. I have gotten to the end of a section and it says to "Break A" and at the other section, to "break B". I have no idea what this means or how to do it, can someone please help me?
Thanks!

To cut from ball of yarn colour A and then colour B you will not need that yarn either for the rest of the piece you are working on or will join it back in later.

"Break" means to cut that yarn, and switch to a different color.
