Notes

I’m not sure about the “quick knit”….

Changed the Twisted Rib pattern. Somehow following the pattern didn’t work out for me (and only noticed after knitting 2” it looked off). I’ts because of the purl 1 at the beginning and end, the pattern for the wrong side had to be different. So I changed it to:

Row 1: P1, #P2, Twist 2sts to right(K2 tog, leaving sts on the needle, insert right-hand needle between sts just worked and knit first st again; slip both stitches off needle), Knit one, repeat from #

Row 2: K1, #P3, K2. Repeat from #, K1.

Row 3: P1, #P2, K1, Twist 2 sts to the right. Repeat from #

Row 4: K1, #P3, K2. Repeat from #, K1.
