3. Mark and Stitch

the Kiku Design

at the South Pole

Rotate the mari and

work the same Kiku

design at the South

Pole (Figure 4).

Begin each round

using the same set

of guidelines as

those used to begin

each round at the

North Pole. In

other words, if each

round began by

working stitches

near the obi at

guidelines 1, 3, 5,

7, etc. (Figure 2),

then the stitches

worked on the

opposite pole

should begin at

guidelines 1, 3, 5,

7, etc.
