Note: This pattern is from Barbara Walker's 2nd Treasury book. The slip stitches can be done either knitwise or purlwise. My pattern says knitwise, but other instructions say purlwise. Try both ways to see which you prefer, pick one method, and be consistent throughout your project. (Slipping knitwise will twist the stitch, making it lie a bit more firmly, which could make the resulting fabric more secure.) The "drop st" instruction refers to the stand-alone YO (the 1st of 2 YOs in the pattern repeat) from the previous row. The PSSO (pass slipped stitch over and off the needle) should be done over both the K1 and the YO closest to the tip of the needle (the 2nd of 2 YOs in the pattern repeat). The slipped stitch will be the third stitch over from the tip of your needle (prior to passing it over and off).
