Notes

Not reversible.
Knit bottom up.
Knit using the rib & herringbone lace stitch.
Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
Be careful not to stretch out the stitch when passing the slipped stitch over during the SKP, they tend to elongate easily.
Rounds 1-6 lean to the left.
Rounds 7-12 lean to the right.
