A Hint: As the work grows, you are working 2 sc into the middle of the 2 sc on the row below. You don't really have to count st, just watch the row below for the st with 2 sc in it, and put 2 sc there.
Work it bigger to make a trivet or potholder.
Note: I hereby grant permission to members of the Durham String Thing knitting group to make these for our Centerfest Show sale and for charity sales.
