Stitch Instructions

Pattern Notes:
There will be a total of 4 striped wedges, the first starting at 5 inches from the beginning and the next in intervals of 6, 7, and 8 inches from the previous wedge. The pattern has instructions for each of these wedges individually. The picture to the right shows how to measure the space between wedges. The pattern calls for the use of stitch markers to mark short row turns. There are a few options to help make the turns more visible. Follow the pattern directions for placing a marker at every turn and then removing markers once the short row section is completed. Use a removable marker and continue moving the marker at each turn. Completely ignore the call for markers and make a note of the space created at each short row turn.
