I’m happy you like the pattern! 🙂

When I wrote this pattern, I worked it as just continuing along like a spiral, and it came out even as you can see in the pics. Some people do not like to do it that way in the fears that it will come out uneven, so you can slip stich to join at the end of each row and then do a chain stitch before starting a new row to ensure that the end result comes out even.

So the short answer is: either way is fine! 🙂
