Row Ending: Since each row ends with a knit stitch, carry the
ribbon to the front as you usually would before a knit stitch, and then let the
ribbon drop. When you turn and purl the first stitch in the next row, the yarn
will be automatically positioned in the back. Bring the ribbon in front of the
next (knit) stitch as specified in the pattern.
