Turn the work 90 degrees clockwise.
Pick up and k 3 sts in the cast on edge (9 sts)

Note: The first and last three stitches of each row are always knit to form the garter stitch
border. This will allow the piece to lay flat.

Each rs row will increase by 4 sts. These sts will always be after the first 3 k sts and
before the last 3 k sts and before and after the center st.

with the lace edge. This 10-stitch pattern flows easily.
