I love your tutorials. Thank you.
You mention that this requires a multiple of 3 but the line printed on video says 2. I really love this stitch and will attempt to make something with it. Could you clarify?

When in doubt the audio is always correct. Unfortunately I won’t be able to edit the video to fix it. YouTube doesn’t let you change them once they’re posted.

the screen says cast in multiples of 2, the voice says 3

It would be helpful to include in the written directions that you are slipping stitches purlwise.
