BEGIN
Cast on 31 stitches. NB: If using Kitchener stitch to finish, you will need to cast on using Provisional cast on method. Begin working in uneven rib, every row. Continue until piece measures 104" /264cm, or length desired.
FINISHING
There are two ways you can join the seam: 1. Cast off stitches and align with cast-on edge. Using mattress stitch, join the two edges. 2. Keep live stitches on needle and join to cast-on edge using Kitchener stitch. This is a grafting technique that will create an invisible seam, a cleaner line for this project. There are various instruction videos and guides available online on how to do the Kitchener stitch.
