Deborah, Look at the opposite end and use the 2nd row down for the 2nd row at the beginning (under the web address). It is the same pattern.It is a beautiful pattern.
The pattern seems to be the same at the top as it is at the bottom, so in order to determine what is under the web address section of the chart, just follow the top section for that part.
The reverse stockinette worked on both sides of the Fair Isle strip. This side parts are to be folded and seamed. The Fair Isle strip is worked in stockinette.
I like this pattern very much and have started it for a gift. I am unsure about whether to use the reverse stocking stitch for the entire row, including the Fair Isle pattern. That would mean starting the Fair Isle pattern row 1 with purl stitches. Is that what is intended? OR is the reverse stocking stitch just used for the first four rows and then one starts the rows with the Fair Isle pattern, knitting the first row of the F.I.pattern and purling the borders. Please clarify. Thanks.
Look at the post by Elaine Phillips above for clarification. BTW, when I made this headband, I may have knit too tightly, but it turned out too small for any of the female heads in my family. Do check the gauge and perhaps use larger needle.
