HOW TO KNIT THE PATTERN?
BEFORE YOU START
You should know that in Tunisian crochet each row is divided into two phases that we will call Outbound and Return:
In the first row we raise all the stitches and make the increases, if there are any. The work is left hanging from the hook.
In the Round, we fill in the stitches that we have raised by leaving them off the hook, and it is here that we will make the decreases. The work is free, except for the last stitch that remains on the hook.
As for decreases, you should keep in mind that they are made in the Round. If it is at the beginning, instead of passing the first stitch alone, we will pass two together. If it is in any other position, we will pass three stitches instead of two.
ABBREVIATIONS
ps : simple tunisian stitch
pre : filled stitch (we use this stitch to make increases)
