Do you have yarn?

To work 11 rows even means to just work the next 11 rows without increasing or decreasing.

when it says work 11 rows even. what does that mean

"RS" means "Right side"... of your project, as for "WS" that means "Wrong Side"... of your project.

Please help...what is the RS at the beginning of the instructions mean... thanks Joan Pierce
