Notes

  1. Duster is made from full motifs, half motifs, and quarter motifs.
  2. Motifs are joined together while working last round or row using a join-as-you-go technique. Review the assembly diagram for motif placement and to determine the correct sided join for each motif to its neighboring motif.
  3. When joining motifs, hold the motifs with wrong sides together with current motif in front and neighboring motif in back. Motifs are joined only through the chainspaces. To make joining spaces obvious, you may find it helpful to place markers in the chain-spaces across the edge(s) of the neighboring motifs.
