Hold pieces to be joined WS’s together, with needles parallel, both ends pointing in same direction. Working from right to left, using yarn needle (yn) and yarn 4 times length of section to be joined, insert yn into first st on front needle (N1) purlwise, pull yarn through, leaving st on needle; insert yn into first st on back needle (N2) knitwise, pull yarn through, leaving st on needle; *insert yn into first st on N1 knitwise, pull yarn through, remove st from needle; insert yn into next st on N1 purlwise, pull yarn through, leave st on needle; insert yn into first st on N2 purlwise, pull yarn through, remove st from needle; insert yn into next st on N2 knitwise, pull yarn through, leave st on needle. Repeat from *, adjusting tension of sts as you go to match pieces being joined. When 1 st remains on each needle, cut yarn and pass through last 2 sts to fasten off.
On page 137, replace Picot Point CO text with the following:
Using Cable CO Method, CO 3 sts. BO 2 sts; slip rem st back to left-hand needle. This makes one picot point. *CO 2 sts. BO 2 sts; slip rem st back to left-hand needle. Rep from * until you’ve worked one picot point for each CO st required in pattern, leaving final st on right-hand needle. Working from right to left across chain, beginning with second picot point, with right-hand needle, *pick up 1 st in horizontal bar above picot point; rep from * to end of chain. You now have required number of sts on right-hand needle. Turn, ready to work a WS row.
