This project is fun and easy; you can probably complete it in one night, if you don’t rip it out and start over like I did… even then I could have finished it if I hadn’t decided to watch a movie instead. Here’s what I did: Using the knitted cast-on, I started with 40 stitches, worked the set-up row to row 4, then I knit one more row and did my yarn overs on a purl row, as well as keeping my drops on a purl row. Then I knit rows 1-3 for the repeats and continued doing my wraps and drops on purl rows. This contained the drop stitches very nicely in between two purl ridges. To end it, I worked rows 1-4, then bound off purlwise.
