Pattern Notes
The four stitches at the beginning and end of each row create a rolled edge similar to an i-cord edging. You may wish to place stitch markers at these locations to identify the edge stitches. All stitches are slipped purlwise to maintain the stitch mount. Please read the pattern carefully to determine if the working yarn is held in front or back of the slipped stitches as it varies throughout the pattern.
