PATTERN NOTES

Every 3^rd row is an increase row where 5 new stitches are added.  New stitches are added with a YO on an empty peg.

When an empty peg is needed, insert a new link between the last stitch worked and the next stitch by pulling the links apart and snapping in a new link.  Work the YO on the first empty peg.  Then move each of the following stitches over to the next empty peg until the next YO is worked.

YO:  wrap an empty peg (e-wrap) to increase by one stitch.  On the next row, unwrap the peg leaving the loop to the front of the peg.  Knit the loop to create an eyelet.
