This pattern includes both a chart and line by line instructions.

On the chart, RS rows (odd-numbered) are read from right to left. WS rows are read from left to right. Reading the chart might be a little easier if you think of the white box sections as stockinette stitch, and the dotted box sections as reverse stockinette stitch.

Weave in ends. I suggest mattress stitch as a way to attach squares together.
