To translate the pattern from French, I used

• Google Translator (pretty rough, not very helpful)
• http://chezplum.com/knitting-from-the-french/
• http://www.tricotin.com/dico.htm

I would not profess to have gained a mastery of this translation. Much confusion about how the middle is handled. That’s my fault, for not speaking French, and not the fault of the pattern designer.
