Here's what you are going to end up with.
Here's what you are going to end up with.
Row 1 is critical, I often recheck it once I've finished. I go back to the beginning of the row looking at each stitch as I read out the row to myself. I check the yarn overs are in the correct locations and that the direction of the decreases are correct. Here's a tip to help you remember.
Row 5, notice here how the centre 7 stitches are worked over the cdd from Row 3, if stitch 4 of 7 isn't on top of the cdd you have gone wrong.
Row 7, notice here how the centre 5 stitches are worked over the cdd from Row 3, if stitch 3 of 5 isn't on top of the cdd you have gone wrong. You should also be watching now for the yos to be aligning beside the ssks or k2togs and both should be creating diagonal lines across the work.
Here's the completed but un-blocked finished sample again.
As usual this skill is best learned with yarn and needles in your hands.
