Pattern Corrections and Tips:

  • Correction: Ensure that all cable stitches are worked around the correct posts (the stitch “two rows below” for proper cable twist).
  • Tip: Keep consistent tension, especially on slip stitch ribbing for cuffs and borders. If edges pucker, use a larger hook for the ribbing.
  • Customization: Adjust panel lengths and widths by adding or subtracting chains and rows to fit your measurements.
  • Seaming: Always lay pieces flat and pin before sewing for best results.
