This pattern is divided into 6 sections and is worked from the bottom up. I would 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 charts. I’ve also included the full chart on one page for those who prefer using the Knit Companion app (or similar technology) without all the page breaks.

Special thanks to Shirley Sola Osborn and Annie Watson for testing this pattern.
