PATTERN NOTES
This pattern uses Leethal's Sideways Edge Cast On Technique. For more details, please refer to her exhaustive but fabulous explanations of the creation of this technique on her blog which can be linked to from her website; www.leethal.net. I've taken the liberty to label the parts of the pattern as Zig and Zag to help you visualize what is happening as you progress through the sections of your project. I hope it helps!
