2. There are no edge stitches in Japanese knitting! All stitches are knitted according to the pattern: the 1st row starts and ends with a knit stitch. The wrong side edge is knitted according to the pattern.

3. The knitting of the back and front starts with the 1st stitch of the 1st row of the scheme, for the sleeves start knitting with the 9th stitch of the 1st row of the scheme.

4. An empty cell in the scheme corresponds to a knit stitch. The knitting is turned, so the wrong side rows are read "backwards".

5. The crossover element of 6 stitches is executed as follows:

Remove the first two stitches from the left needle onto a helper needle and leave it in front of the work. Remove the next two stitches onto a helper needle and leave it behind the work. Knit the last two stitches from the six as knit stitches. Then knit the stitches from the helper needle that is BEHIND the work as purl stitches. Finally, knit the last two stitches from the helper needle that is IN FRONT of the work as knit stitches.
