4 December 2012: Version 2.0
The original cast-on number was changed from 28 to 29. Instructions were then added to decrease this additional stitch out on Row 1. In this way, you will have the correct number of stitches on your needle when picking out the provisional cast on (28 stitches; always one less than the total number cast on provisionally).
12 November 2013: Version 2.1
The decrease added in Version 2.0 has been moved from Row 1 to Row 2, in order to accommodate knitter’s chosen method of provisional CO, as follows:
Row 1 (WS): Purl all stitches.
Row 2 (RS): Knit 3, k2tog, knit to the end of row. (1 stitch decreased).
