number of stitches at the end of each row

The total number of stitches in a row is at the end of the row instruction and is displayed in curly blankets. For example: {(x) [y] sts}

Count the number of stitches by counting the “V’s” at the top of each stitch.

turning chain

There is no turning chain used in this pattern. A dc (sc) and ch replaces a tr (dc) as the first st of every row.
