3) Straight and Even First Round
When working an oval or a rectangle that is started in the middle and worked around the beginning foundation row, the stitches on the opposing sides are directly vis-a-vis (left sample).
Stitches worked around a row of chains, where one side is worked through the ‘V’s and the opposing side in the ‘bump’, are slightly offset (right sample).
The foundation row sample again is easier to work, looks neater and is also more straight and even.
