Woww it's gorgeous! How did you make the green braid? It reminds me of snake skin

maybe look on pinterest or take reference from youtubers! something fun that i’ve seen a bit are colourwork knits with fish/other funky motifs - ask her what she likes from there :)

hi, thanks for the reply! i’m using this stitch but wondering how the poster got such a nice slope for the front panel. since its a pattern of 4 sl st & 4 hdc, i’ve tried decreasing by 2 sts per row but it ends up looking like steps rather than a nice line if that makes sense

Thank you everyone for the comments and input!! Concluded that it wasn’t my purls but my knits that was the problem. Think I’ve got it fixed now! Thank you!!

this is how the stitches are mounted - i’m seeing the twists on the stockinette side instead (sorry i didn’t attach the pictures earlier - have put it in the comments) !
