Summary

I ran into a few problems with the king. After I had the Three Quarters Persian Sheet and the bit of European 6 in 1 going up to a point, I proceeded to make the ridge and then expand until I got to the top. But my original design didn't work out too well. It was flimsy and not looking great. So I tore it apart (just the top part). This was a bit frustrating. Nevertheless, I took a different approach, and it seemed to work out alright. It was loose, until I added the ridge part, which is a One and a Half Persian chain held captive (like the FP chain on the queen). The cross is made of the Bē+1 weave (I really really like this weave/unit and highly recommend it), which was new to me at the time. Connecting it took a few tries using different approaches.
