ENCORE 2 is the Crescent Shaped sequel to the Triangular Shaped ENCORE.

Like it’s predecessor, ENCORE 2 starts with the maximum amount of stitches, & after a simple setup row, features EVER DECREASING stitch counts … ALL THE WAY.

This beginner friendly design features garter & eyelet rows, in various formations, & the possibilities for further adaptation are numerous!

There are at least 3 different stitch counts over the 3 versions detailed (separately) in the pattern, so you have a variety of options open to you, should you choose to put your own spin on the design/s.
