Xanadu Simple version:
Work Chart one eight repeats per row. Continue in pattern established until row 132 then work the horseshoe edge as described below. See the 30 row repeat enclosed by the dotted box. By following the established pattern this could actually be worked in as fine a gauge as desired and continued until a multiple of 11 stitches are between the selvedges. Each 30-row repeat adds a column on either side of the pattern
NOTAS SIMPLEVERSION:
At row 8: Establish a ninth panel/repeat. Do this by working a purl 1, yarnover, purl 1 into the marked stitch from row 7. The additional 2 stitches will become the ninth panel (located at position 5, the center panel). Until Further Direction, these 2 stitches (fifth/center panel) are worked in stocking stitch. The first 4 and last 4 panels are worked according to chart One. Row 13: The fifth/center panel is worked as O,(k1, yo, k1) in single stitch, O, k1. You now have six stitches in the fifth panel, which continue to be worked in stocking stitch. ROw 17 & onward: ODD numbered panels/repeats are worked using chart two. EVEN numbered panels/repeats are worked using chart one. note that the ODD numbered panels are fully charted Rows 85 to 132 of chart 2 are on a separate page.
