This pattern is divided into 4 sections and is worked from the bottom up. I would suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions if you prefer to print out your charts.

The instructions packet should answer any questions you may have. I also have a Facebook group dedicated to answering questions and building community around my patterns. Please join us!
