Some tips and housekeeping
This week we are making another Chevron Moss Stitch Section!!!
Although the border is a mystery, if you are going to follow along and make that border, the tails for changing colors on both sides don’t need to be woven in.
The project should be 48″ x 72″ when finished and blocked with the designed border.
If you are worried about the size, make sure to check your gauge.
This is written in US terms
You will use the full cake of yarn for this section or approx 15″ from top peak to a bottom peak
*Every now and then make sure each side of the peak and valley still have a total of 5 stitches each.
Most important… Have fun!
