Notes

Goodness, gracious!
Over 1,000 people have made this design!
They can’t all be too far from wrong!
Have had my eye on this design for a while and am happy to have made it.
Have a very nice yarn for it.

My yarn is a little less bulky than design yarn.
Not that different, but, oh well.
Up a bunch of needle sizes to get patt gauge (7 st / 4”).
Still off gauge a little (8 st / 4”), but sticking with it.

Placed all inc along side edges so there’s no center line.
Personal preference.

Completed all pattern rows. Had to get a little creative with the bind off. Not much yarn left. If needed, I could have stopped after the last RS row and bound off.

If I make this again, I’ll consider closing up the main leaves, st st between them, then proceeding with eyelet mesh to finish. The leaves as written, lie overlapping, if you will.
