HOW TO READ THE ROUNDS
How to read the rounds: Each
row has a sequence as given
below. Example: *sc, inc*
means repeat that sequence
sc, inc followed by sc, inc in
next st over and over to the
end of that particular round.
The number inside the
parentheses (~) is the number
of stitches you should have at
the end of that particular
round.
Add in a marker at the end of
round 2 and move that
marker at the end of every
row. Work in continuous
rounds, do not join.
