and the

Purl the next 3 stitches, looking at the P3 on the right needle from left to
right, insert the tip of the left needle into the first purl. That is the
one fartherest from the tip of the needle *With the tip of the left needle,
lift this stitch (1) over the last stitch on the right needle (3), do the

You have just decreased to two stitches you added with the p1, yo, p1.

This video shows how to lift the stitches, but instead lifting two at one
time, you will only be lifting one.

Thank you, so much for taking the time to reply to my question.

I did have a "light bulb" moment yesterday afternoon, and set up a
test swatch, like Mary suggested. I cast on 36 stitches just like the
chart shows for the pattern repeat, which included the pattern repeat
on the chart, plus 12 stitches for the garter stitch border on the two
fronts. Somehow or another I lost 2 stitches, so have pulled that out
and will try again today.

This is such a great group!

thanks again...Linda D. in B.C., Canada
