I found a few inconsistencies in the pattern. One side the first stitch is slipped and the other not. Also it says to switch to smaller needles for the band but there isn’t a smaller size listed for 2-4 in worsted. I switched from 9 to 8 for the band.

I am hooked on German short rows. Mimi Kezer has a great youtube video for stockinette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6Pjl20zKA
