GRAFT THE MISSING ROW 10, following the instructions below (note that in the description, the bottom patch starts on a RS row -- peu importe !). The important detail is: HAVE TWO WS ROWS at the top and bottom edge, so you can GRAFT A RS ROW BETWEEN THE TWO--note that the top of the stitch has to follow the garter stitch pattern, which means it comes to the front (see mistake in test below). GRAFT-MissingRow10-Mar6/2017 (the stitch map below annotated with rectangles to hide row 10).

Top patch: CO stitches in waste yarn and knit a few rows. Knitted CO: yarn on left @ BOR. Switch to main yarn on WS row (tail @ right), which makes the first ridge on the RS (bottom curves are main yarn, and top curves are wast yarn [from the stitches that were sitting on the needle]). Make sure to knit an uneven number of row, which means ending in the main yarn on a WS row. Bind off on RS (end tail @ left). Bottom patch: CO with main yarn (tail end on left @ BOR) and knit can even number of garter stitch rows, which means ending on a WS row. Switch to waste yarn and knit a few rows or ridges. Leave 4-5 TIMES the width of the work for the grafting (main yarn).

Graft a RS row between the two patches, following the top and bottom curves of the waste yarn rows, respectively. Come up from the back of the first stitch, then copy the top curves of the waste yarn of the top swatch, and alternate with the top stitches of the bottom swatch. Be sure to follow the path of the last stitch, through the twisted top loop.

Mistake in Test May7/2017: I grafted the jersey way, which means that you see the V of the stitch AND the top of the stitch is to the back. If I'd done the top to the front, it would have worked.

Note: each row you knit consist of the loops that are on the needle (= top loops from the cast on or previous row) and a newly knitted row. How you knit the stitches in the last row determines where the loops go: to the back (knit stitch), to the front (purl stitch), or a combination of front and back (such as in pattern stitches or ribbing).

Note if you graft and count two rows too many, this may mean that you knit one row too many (and are counting the stitch and the loop as separate rows).
