Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked top-down, with double increases worked each RS row, and single increases worked each WS row, increasing by 6sts every two rows.

There is a 3-stitch garter stitch edge on this pattern. The charts do not show this edge. So, you’ll do:

K3 (the garter edge), whatever you’re being instructed to do, k3 (the other garter stitch edge).

To work the Bud Stitch: k3tog tbl, but do not slip stitches off of the needle, yo, k3tog tbl into the same stitches again, then slip stitches off of needle. There will be no change to the stitch count.
