How many chains start the piece. I’m love this, but not sure I could manage this. It’s so beautiful.
Row 1 creates the beginning triangle. Piece is worked from the bottom to the top. Each row is wider than the one beneath it. for simplicity, map out each row on paper and line through when completed to stay on track. It will be easy to find your place when you return to your project.
It would be nice to receive in a pamphlet or something some of these stitches havnt croquettes foraging time I’m a senior now and getting into it again and alot of the instructions are not understandable appreciate everything you do ut instructions have to be applied a little more simpler and easier to understand thankyou Vera Beausoleil
Is there a way on this website to save projects we would like to make at a later. If not is there a way to download this to the Ravlery website
