HINTS FOR DECREASING OVER PATTERN STITCH

1. Place a marker 15 sts in from each edge. The sts between the markers will remain in pattern stitch with no decreases.

2. Work decreases at each side 1 st in from edge.

3. Work decreases on WS rows instead of RS rows.

4. When trying to decide where to start the pattern stitch, count back from the marker working from the end of the pattern row repeat.

5. Please see photos here for a chart that may make it easier to see the pattern.
