About this pattern
All knit stitches in this pattern should be worked using the veil stitch (see tutorial linked above). This allows for your stitches to be elongated and open, but with twists that differentiate this stitch from a simple drop stitch. If you prefer to work this pattern with plain knit stitches, the pattern will still work out, but your work will have a less open weave.
Also not that the slipped stitches at the beginning of every row form a chain edge, but if you’re working the veil stitch version of this pattern, remember to slip those stitches loosely to avoid warping your work.
