i may try to knit it from one side to the next rather than in two pieces. i guess i will see how it goes.
i had been trying to figure out how to finish this off and finally found the link. i love how it is looking so much like the picture. i'm almost finished with it.
the instructions for the knit chain 5 are right in the instructions, it is not a crochet chain 5 but a knit chain 5. you will place marker, then knit 1 stitch and bring the stitch back to the left hand needles until you have chained 5 stitches using this method, remember chain 5
