Correct tension is not essential for this item.

Note

The scale rows are worked 'upside down' on the RS, by inserting the hook between the 2 trebles from the front, around and behind the designated stitch to the front again, pulling a loop around the stitch and finishing the treble in the usual manner. Only work on the WS when you are instructed to turn in the previous row.
