This pattern is divided into 5 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 for the charts if you prefer to print out your pages. The charts and written patterns are divided into correlating sections so they can easily be used together. I’ve also included the full chart on one page for those who prefer using Knit Companion without all the page breaks.

Special thanks to Anita Schadeck for testing this pattern.
