NOTES
Although you use double pointed needles in this pattern, you don’t ever actually work in the round. Mostly you will use two double pointed needles as if they were normal straight needles, but when you get to the Gusset, you will use all three needles for a short period of time. You need the extra one at that point to accommodate the shape of the fabric. Don’t worry… It’ll all become clear as you work!

Slip all stitches purlwise.
