The only problem was that I'm not very big (well tall is probably more correct) and it just overwhelmed me. Luckily one of my taller friends saw it and it was perfect on her. Win, win! Thank you so much for the pattern.<br />MaggieMaggie Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718408104838709370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-50504204664633923862017-01-07T22:07:31.599-05:002017-01-07T22:07:31.599-05:00Hi Julia, that is exactly right.

Move Marker means slide it from the left needle to the right (new stitch) needle, thus keeping it in the same spot at you do the decrease rows.<br />Easy, right?<br />Cheers, Chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-967208790335850552017-01-06T01:47:00.452-05:002017-01-06T01:47:00.452-05:00Hello Chris,

Once you have knitted the 2 stitches together before the marker do I just transfer the marker to the other needle and then knit the next 2 stitches together or am I reading this incorrectly. <br />By the way I just found this pattern and looked at your cape. Its amazing <br />Thanks Julia Syracuse, N.Y.
