Very nice!! I like the picot-edge effect. I don't think I've ever seen that on the diagonal pattern before.

Stop by and visit me sometime--www.sailorcross.blogspot.com
That looks so pretty!
I love your picot edge cloth but have a question. On row 1, you have BO 1, kfb. Then row 2 says S1, kfb, kfb. How can this be done, it takes 3 stitches and you only have 2???
Beautiful cloths. I can't wait to try them!
I really like this! thanks for sharing your design!
It's really cute!
I agree with Mattandkkmom....I am stuck on the first row! She is right...if you cast on 2, and then for row 1, bind off 1...you don't have any stitches left to make the kfb increase! Help! Thanks!
Laura
what lovely cloths!
I caston 2 stitches, did the bindoff, turned, then on the only stitch knitted front & back.
I found that if you start with row 2 and repeat rows 8-11 it comes out perfect, happy knitting!
Re-read Row 2 it only has sl1, kfb
Row 3 had the double kfb👍🏻
I love this pattern. I have done forty nine rows and am stumped on the "Turning Rows"
HELP, PLEASE. Pat Dillon
Me, too! I don't understand the turning rows at all.
