Instructions
- The only thing you need to know when picking up stitches along a vertical border is they type of fabric you are working with.

- If you are working with double crochet fabric you will pick up 1 stitch every row.

Tip
Split the total number of stitches you need to work in sections of three or four. After each section lie your fabric down to make sure it lays flat. If it’s too tight pick up more stitches. If it ripples pick up less stitches.
