How To Read Knit Scheme
You should read the scheme from right to left and from bottom to up, i.e. the same way as we hold our work while knitting. All the right side rows are odd, as stated on the scheme. Wrong side - even rows are knit due to the ornament, which we see. When in right side row knit sts are stated, so in wrong side row these sts should be purls. And vice versa - purls are knit.

Criss-Cross Cast On Stitches
There are a lot of ways how to cast on stitches in knitting. Today I want to share with you one of the method, which is called criss-cross. It is used when it is necessary to start knitting your work with an ornate pattern, and not traditionally with rib. Such a criss-cross cast on stitches will give the finished work a denser structure, making the edge neat and almost perfectly even. In addition, your product will look more voluminous due to such an original decor. Another plus of the criss-cross cast on ...
