I used a lower end cotton yarn and they have shrunk a bit. I think pre washing your yarn before you knit with it is a great idea, just make sure you follow the washing instructions that are printed on the yarn label. xoxoLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044460593683990092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080988240295658638.post-36734686106203466182014-02-07T04:40:16.509-07:002014-02-07T04:40:16.509-07:00I am wondering about the laundering part.

Just alternate knitting and purling across the row until you have 3 stitches left and then knit those last 3 stitches for the border. =)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044460593683990092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080988240295658638.post-83697217306539886332013-12-15T22:35:50.051-07:002013-12-15T22:35:50.051-07:00hey, great pattern. just a quick question- it look...hey, great pattern. just a quick question- it looks like you need to cast-on an even number of stitches for it to work. 35-6 (3 on each end) leaves you with 29 stitches and that leaves you with 4 stitches at the end instead of 3. am i reading it wrong? help. :) thanks!
