Tester: Hastur
Hastur / King in Yellow
My take on H.P. Lovecraft’s infamous character
Information
This pattern is written in U.S. terms. You will be working in the round, as well as in rows.
At the end of each row, the number of stitches worked will be written in parenthesis. If there are 10 stitches worked it will look as so: (5st)
Rounds are signified with an “R” and then the number. Round 3 would be R3.
