Getting Started
Pay attention to the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) instructions. For the stockinette section of the runner, all rows are worked from the right side, meaning each row is worked from the same side. To do this, do not turn work at the end of the row, just go back to the beginning and start there.
Each row is started with a new piece of yarn; leave an 8-10 inch tail at the start of the row, and then cut an 8-10 inch tail at the end of the row. The tails will be tied and cut even as fringe at the end.
