Row 2+, Option 3 – Do not add a new line & double back

Choose this approach if you want to make the garment reusable!

This is almost the same as above, but you double back each time you get to the spine instead of continuing in the same direction. It results in a different look.

Change direction, but make the next drape longer…

…so you can attach to the bottom of the prior layer.

Again, I took the opportunity when changing rose to make the inside line…

…become the outside line.

Then continue the pattern from there.

Pay attention to how the bottoms of your drapes align.

…

If you run out of rope, simply…

… add more!

I find that using the Lark’s Head technique works well.

If one and is a little longer than the other, you can write back words along the pattern you have been making…

… Lock to get into a prior node to hide it.

Then continue on…

…

When you get back to the spine, double check the bottoms of your drapes to make sure they look symmetrical.

If you are almost out of rope, You can run the line back up to the staring point so that it mirrors the one on the other side. If you want to keep going, do so but I again reverse direction instead of crossing over the spine. You can see that in more detail in the “Making the Garment Reusable” section below.
