Working the slipped stitch on the WS (my RS) and purling the stitch on the other side.

Keeping the first stitch on the WS (my RS) a knit stitch next to the garter collar. Thus the decreases on other side of the collar are worked one left/right of this stitch instead of including.

Worked collar on both sides, meeting in center back, instead of up the L side and grafting on the right. Worked Kitchener stitch and it’s undetectable. Love it.
