Notes
Not reversible.
CO STS is the circumference.
Knit using the jute knit stitch.
Holding 2 strands of cotton yarn.
Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
Easy pattern to memorize and take on road trips or relax. :)
I knit this a little on the tight side, I usually knit a little on the loose side.
A common mistake I made was purling the stitch I was supposed to be slipping it. :(
This is an unforgiving stitch. When you make a mistake, it’s noticeable and the only way to fix it is to tink back or frog. :( Don’t despair! It’s sooo pretty when it’s finished! It’s worth it! :) I made a couple of mistakes and left them, they’re a little noticeable.
