Notes

I am really glad that I research my patterns before I start working on them. This one had several clarifications from other knitters that I took note of.

I worked 17 repeats of the Andalusian Stitch because I grew concerned that I wouldn’t have enough Sage to do the first Brioche transition. I could have squeezed out at least three more pattern repeats on hindsight now.

That’s okay because I started figuring out the math to make sure that further adjustments in the pattern would result in a stitch count divisible by three for the Picot bindoff.

I chose to do the bumpy version of the transition, so the only row I had a correction on was #3 (start and end with P2). I didn’t like the way the pattern worked out the revised way that others had done (I tinked back to redo).

I knit four repeats of the first transition, as noted in the pattern.

I then worked six pattern repeats of the Andalusian Stitch with Natural followed by four repeats of the second transition.

The Netting Stitch Edge was easy once I made note of the correction in Row 3. I completed six repeats of this section and then bound off.

This was an easy pattern but only because of the notes I’d read beforehand. I hope the pattern designer makes the corrections on her page so others won’t have any problems.
