This pattern is divided into 7 sections (6 pages each) and is worked from the bottom up. The charts and written pattern are divided into identical sections so they can be used together. Customers who are new to angle stitches have reported that using the charts and written pattern together have answered questions they have about stitch placement. I would also suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions if you prefer to print out your pages.
