there is no *-* in rows 9 and 10.

This is a stitch pattern. I assume people will adapt it to other patterns which would increase the amount of cast on stitches. If I don't include the *-* they won't know what to do and can't use the pattern at all.

Thanks. Was trying to find this stitch without having to buy a book for £30 that I don't need, but didn't know name of stitch.☺
