Is it supposed to begin with magic circle? I have a hole in the center that doesn’t tighten. Thanks!
Work Shallow Back Post Stitch
I can’t seem to get row 11 to work out at 59 stitches from the previous 40 from round 10.
Row 11 ch 2, 2 dc in first stitch, dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st, dc in next 2 stitches same all way round. Join in first dc of round 59 sts.
I have done it 6 times and still not working out.
Is the shallow post stitch front or back post?
