Once you find the right place to start just pull the yarn through the stitch of the previous row (leave a couple inches of tail) and work the stitches like normal. Sometimes I hold the tail against the top of the previous row and stitch around it to secure it. Sometimes I work the first few stitches using both the tail and the working yarn together. It's really up to you. I hope that makes sense!Nik's Knotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212269857711592734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263342290626182076.post-36883599296745652432017-01-08T08:23:44.502-08:002017-01-08T08:23:44.502-08:00Any hints on how to start the second flap?Any hints on how to start the second flap?Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615135966711989538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263342290626182076.post-89390909748353635072015-05-02T14:21:21.866-07:002015-05-02T14:21:21.866-07:00I'm having the same issue with sizing.
