Notes

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch...and so on.
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to the last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
