Notes

I liked the look of the stripes in this version of the pattern, so I’m going to try adding a few jogless stripes in Riverside, using the technique from Norman at Nimble Needles.

I cast on 88 stitches and worked the 2 x 2 ribbing for 4 inches, then the 6 x 2 ribbing for another 2-1/2 inches.

I used markers to separate the stitches into groups of 29, 29 and 30. I followed the pattern until 5, 5 and 6 stitches were left, then decreased 1 stitch at the beginning of the first two sections and one at the beginning and end of the last section.
