Hello Sandra! I am very sorry about this! I released this pattern during Plaid Week a couple years ago, a yearly series for my followers who are familiar with plaid. I stupidly assumed everyone would be familiar with the technique. I have rewritten the pattern with clearer instructions, can you send me an email? Bethany at whistleandivy dot com
I will send the new version to you ASAP.

I don’t understand how to follow step 5. The third sentence says: “St in next st (counts as 2nd row of 1st block). With wine, sc in ext sts.” What ‘st’ am I supposed to be using when it says st? What is counting as a 2nd row? Can you explain the line about ‘ext sts’?
The instructions never specify when to use any colours other than black and wine, yet it is clear a third colour is needed. Is this starting at row 6? If so, what is the colour order for these rows?
Also, I’m thinking it should be marked as rows 6-11 (which would make 3 rows of 2 like the instructions say) and not 6-12. Would I be right?
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.

To keep yarn from getting tangled, set two colors you’re working with in any given round off to one side of you and third color to the other side. At the end of the round, untwist the two colors if necessary before moving on to the next round. Whistle and Ivy shares a brief, very helpful video on keeping yarn organized while working here. […]
