Hello Dear Team. I am knitting Pullover "Sunny Day" and I am stuck at a point trying to figure it out how to proceed after: "When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height continue the pattern towards the edge st in each side as before..." OK till here. Now when there is no diagram (chart), I don`t know where to start knitting ahead. How to: "continue the pattern towards the edge st" if there is no chart?Thank you very much in advance. Sincerely, Lola

DROPS Design :

Dear Lola, after you have worked A.1 one time in height, continue to inc number of lace patterns, ie on last row in A.1 you have 4 lace patterns (hearts) in A.1, work then 5 lace patterns (hearts) starting some sts before as you did previously. And continue that way until all sts have been worked in A.1. Happy knitting!
