How to follow the graphic chart?
Follow the stitch symbols in the chart from the right side to the left,
from bottom to top.
Start your work by an edge stitch, then follow symbols of row no. 1 by the stitches before first right arrow (i.e. from odd row numbers) , continue to repeat the sequence of stitch symbols between the two arrows and finish the row by the stitches after the second (left) arrow.
WS rows are not displayed in the chart. It means: work all the WS stitches as you see them (i.e. knit knitted sts, purl purled sts).
