PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses. Each chain in a chain-2 space counts as a stitch when skipping stitches. The graph shows the stitches to work for each row. Odd-numbered right-side rows are read from right to left. Even-numbered wrong-side rows are read from left to right. When the first symbol of a row is a mesh, work a beginning mesh. When the first symbol of a row is an increase, work an increasing beginning mesh. When the last symbol of a row is an increase, work an increasing ending mesh. Join with slip stitch unless otherwise stated.
