Notes

Instructions for M1Rp and M1Lp are non-standard in this pattern.
Because I know how to work a M1 inc right or left, knit or purl, I didn’t read the pattern definitions for the M1p incs at first. I wondered why she was alternating the lean of the increases that were done in the same location, rather than maintaining the same lean for increases done in the same location. Turns out that the instructions for a M1Rp in this pattern actually creates a M1Lp, and vice versa.
If you follow the instructions for the abbreviations she gives, you will get the correct result, but it’s sort of like expecting someone to work an ssk every time you put k2tog in the pattern and to work a k2tog when the ssk abbreviation is used.

Finally got a zipper that goes with the item. Watched the video twice to make sure I understood (I was attempting to do it in a very different way). Worked out great. Very happy with it.
