Thank you!
Heya, Thankyou for amking this pattern free! Im just wondering, where it says (BLO) (3sc, Dec) x 8….. I know the (3sc, dec) x 8 means I do that 8 times, but the (BLO) does that mean I do those 3sc into the back loop for all 8? And do I still do the invisible decrease into the front loop like usual?
Thankyou
