Row Correspondence
The 1st row of the scheme corresponds with the 7th row, totaling 73 BP dc stitches. The pattern of the ornament consists of 4 + 5 stitches.
Importance of Blue Rows
The presence of blue rows indicates the following:
- The 1st row will be knit stitches.
- The 5th row (row with picot) will also be knit stitches.
- The 13th row (another row with picot) will be knit stitches.
If there are no blue rows present, the final row with picot (the 12th) will be a purl stitch.
Shell Pattern
The shell pattern requires 18 + 1 stitches to be successfully executed.
Final Row Instructions
Make sure to knit the last row with BP dc for a complete finish.
