Pattern Notes
Beginning with a garter-tab cast on, this simple hap features undulating Minke stripes, and is worked top-down. Charts are read from right to left on right side rows, and from left to right on wrong side rows. Both sides of the hap are charted here, together with the edging and centre stitches, to make visualising the construction straightforward.
