On Wrong Side Rows, work stitches as they appear; purl yarn-over loops, when knitting double yarn over, purl first yarn over, knit second yarn over.
The pattern repeat = 12 stitches wide.
Begin with 1 edge stitch and 6 stitches before patt rep, work patt rep throughout, end with 6 stitches after patt rep and 1 edge stitch.
