Notes:

B3 = 3 stitch border of your choice (I used K3 for my border in the cloth above)

SSK = slip 1 stitch, slip 1 stitch, knit these two slipped stitches together

YO = yarn over

Instructions in parentheses followed by x3 means you do what is in the paretheses the number of times indicated after "x". For example, (YO, SSK)x3 means you would do YO, SSK, YO, SSK, YO, SSK.
