Abbreviations: I’m using standard abbreviations that can be found on any Knitting site. My favorite is www.KnittingHelp.com .
Notes:
Notes that I have added to the original pattern are in blue. I also added punctuation and abbreviations. I wanted a more slouchy look, did extra rows and have noted where I did them.
I have to say that I did not like the look of the increase that I used-yo. It, of course, left a hole and looked like I’d made a mistake. Since then, I’ve seen on other patterns an increase that doesn’t make an obvious hole. This pattern leaves the choice up to you. Www.KnittingHelp.com has many increases to choose from if you need help with that.
