Please feel free to drop a comment if you find any error in the pattern or need any help or information
Hi - thanks for posting. What thickness of yarn did you use and what size of pins? For future pattern writing it is helpful for the knitter if you put in brackets at the end of rounds with increases and decreases how many stitches should be on the pins at the end of the round, thanks.
ReplyDeleteValeria,
ReplyDeleteThis was my first trial and I didn't note the stitch numbers when I did this. But I do for my other patterns.
For this, I used just the left over yarns which were more of 4 ply or fingering and needle 3mm
