BACK
Using 3.75mm needles, cast
on 129 (141, 153, 163, 175) sts.
Note – If this number of sts
does not fit comfortably on
a pair of needles we suggest
using a circular needle.
Working in garter st
throughout, work 5 rows (1st
row is wrong side).

needle and back to original
position, slip st back onto
left-hand needle, then turn
and proceed as instructed in
