I am following this free knitting pattern. I’ve gotten to this portion:
Put the 12 most recently worked sts on one DPN and the other 12 sts on a spare needle/holder.
The sts on the DPN will be used to create the lower portion of the tail feathers.
The tail is knit straight in two portions: top and bottom.
Starting with the bottom portion, on the same side of the belly, work the following rows in grey:
Row 1. K all sts.
…
I am so confused! If I use the most recently worked 12 stitches, I will also be knitting stitches from the side of the pigeon (but the pattern denotes it should be “the same side of the belly”/eg the front of the pigeon?)
Moreover, I don’t know how I would immediately knit the most recently worked stitches without cutting the yarn (because otherwise my first row should be purling) ?
