Notes from designer, Ranee Mueller:
This is a much easier pattern to memorize than it appears. Unfortunately, there is really no good place to put markers, except perhaps to mark where the garter borders are. The pattern shifts by one st every eight rows, and the center panel, even, does this, though it doesn’t look like it when it is knit up.
