CORRECTION -

The placement of the second left-front gusset marker on page 60 is incorrect and should be relocated from Row 43 to the first strap decrease row as follows:

Page 60, instruction for Row 43 starting at bottom of second column and continuing at top of third column:

After "16 sts," delete "mark beg of this row to indicate 2nd end of pick-up for left-front gusset."

Page 60, third column, line above Row 1:

This should read, "Dec for left strap as foll." The reference to the right strap is incorrect.

Page 60, third column, Row 1:

After "13 sts," insert "mark beg of this row to indicate 2nd end of pick-up for left-front gusset."
