These are so pretty! Is there a left-handed version of this video?
Hi, what do the asterisks mean please? Are they like brackets, so what’s in them needs to be repeated the number of times specified – e.g. “*2tr, ch2* 5 times” means (2tr, ch2)x5? I want to try following a pattern without watching the video to make sure my understanding is correct (but chose one with the video so that if it goes wrong I can then watch to work out where and what went wrong).
Thanks!
Oh actually, never mind, I’ve just found it says it in the Herringbone stitch instructions 🙂
