Pattern Correction
- Ensure an even distribution of increases and decreases in each row for symmetry.
- Adjust the number of increases or decreases in Rounds 2 and 3 if your finished piece puckers or doesn't lay flat.
Tip
- Try your cover on the mirror after Row 3 or 4 to check for fit. If it's too tight or loose, add or remove increase stitches as needed.
- To prevent the mirror from slipping out, be sure the final row is snug, and join stitches tightly.
- For a firmer cover, use cotton yarn instead of acrylic or wool.
