Hi Crystal
I’m totally new to knitting and would like to make a larger project using this pattern. Could you possibly tell me the Cast On “multiple of the number of stitches” plus “number of stitches” I occasionally see in other knitting patterns description.
Thank you
Hi Angel,
This information is under “Adjustments” above. The stitch multiple is 6 for this pattern. So you can cast on 36, 42, 48… 60, 66, etc. Any number that divides by 6 evenly. I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Crystal
