Symbol/Chart Explanation:
The chart is worked with the odd rows going from right to left and the even rows from left to right. You read
the symbols as charted.
Inc (increase): To increase, I lifted the bar or ladder between the two stitches,
from front to back, and knitted as usual. This gives a nice increase, without a hole. If you do not like this
method of increasing, then pick what you prefer.
Note: On all even rows, knit the first and the last stitch, to keep the edges from
curling. I put an *, marking where the pattern stitch starts. This will help you when your get into multiple
repeats of the stitch pattern.
