    Love this pattern.
    I particularly like the scalloped edge at the beginning and am curious as to how I can get this at cast off (bind off) as well?
    For example, if I were to knit a scarf or a shawl in this stitch, how would I get each end to match?

    I love this pattern and would love to knit it up. But I don’t know what weight yarn I should use or how much. Can you help?

    I absolutely love this pattern. It seems fairly uncomplicated, EXCEPT FOR:
    What does this symbol mean found in rows 3, 5 & 7? ” � ”

    Row 3: k1 *k1, yo, k2,� sl1, k2tog, psso, k2, yo, k2
    Row 5: k1 *k2, yo, k1,� sl1, k2tog, psso, k1, yo, k3*
    Row 7: k1 * k3, yo,� sl1, k2tog, psso,, yo, k4*
    As far as I know, this is a capital A with accent � on top in the French language.
    So what does it mean in English?

    Hi,
    How do you achieve the scallopped edge at the end, like at the beginning?
    Sorry I am fairly new to knitting 😉

    The beginning is scalloped. How can you get the end to scallop as well. Repeat row 1?

    Thank you for this! If I made it with a sport-weight yarn and maybe size 8 knitting needles, could it work as a blanket for a bed?

    I would like to make this as a throw blanket but I’d like to have a simple boarder on it. Any suggestions as to how I can do that? Thanks
