This was one stitch pattern I struggled SO hard with. I thought I would be smart and just write down the instructions in the video and that didn't work out so well for me lol. I sat and watched and stitched along and it worked out beautifully .

Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
I'm new bee, and have a question.
when I purl every other row(row 3, 5, 7, 9, 11), we have to purl the "yarn over" stitch which was made in the previous row( row 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
should we purl the stitch as the normal purl way(put the right needle from the back of the right leg on the left needle)?
when I do that, the new purl stitch makes long bar. I'm not sure that is right way.

Why did you not start from the cast on? Starting in the middle of the project is not helpful.
