Pattern Notes
The crochet cast on method is recommended for this project because it will match the appearance of the bind off edge.
Make the pattern easier to follow by placing stitch markers after first 5 stitches, between pattern repeats, and before last 5 stitches.
Selvedge stitches (one on each side) have been included in this pattern. Take care to slip the first stitch and knit the last stitch of every row. All slipped stitches are worked knitwise.
