Hints & Tips

Stitch markers placed on the needle between stitches can be helpful tools in keeping the design repeats separated and the stitch count correct. Certainly the use of the markers is optional.

The stitch count remains the same on each row because the number of increases (yo – yarn over) is the same as the number of decreases (K2tog).

Slip the markers purlwise on each row.

After working the first 2 rows, tie a short length of a contrast color yarn to mark the right side of the fabric.

ABBREVIATIONS: K = knit; P = purl; st(s) = stitch (es); tog = together; * or ** = repeat whatever follows the * or ** as indicated; [ ] = repeat the directions in brackets the number of times specified.
