Hi Catalissacakes--Unfortunately we don't have video or additional photos for this project; however you can try contacting Bernat directly and see if they have a video or extra tutorials to help you out. In the mean time, maybe this pattern clarification will help: --Keep cont of pat, cast of 6 (7, 7) sts beg next 4 rows: So for the next 6 (7, 7) rows, cast off 4 stitches at the beginning of each row. --then 5 (6, 8) sts begin following 2 rows: So for the next 2 rows, you're going to cast off 5 (6, 8) stitches at the beginning of the row. --Cast off rem 19 (21, 23) sts: Then you're going to cast off the remaining stitches. Hope that helps--FaveCrafts Editors
