The knitting instructions seem very clear although I would extend the bottom rib by 4-6 rows . The image looks like more than 10 rows . Unfortunately the recommended yarn is discontinued and it has been hard to find a self patterning fairisle in a DK weight so I have gone with self striping which will work as well . Cute cardigans for two unicorn obsessed little girls !
