Pattern Instructions

Knit Flat:

CO 30 STS

Knit every row until you’ve used up about 1 skein of yarn, I knit about 75 rows.

BO loosely.

Block to stretch out the stitches.

I stretched it out lengthwise, not widthwise.

Sew CO and BO edges together, creating vertical rows.

Weave in the ends.

Block, if desired.
