  • Tutorial 1 – how to cast on
    The first step of knitting is casting on. Casting on means making the base row of loops that will allow us to make a knit fabric by connecting new loops in following rows. The number of loops that you need to cast on depends on the project you wanna work on and also on your yarn size.  As you… Read more: Tutorial 1 – how to cast on
  • Stockinette stitch
    The very simple fabric that is made of basic knit and purl stitches is called stockinette stitch. It means after you cast on number of stitches, you knit the first row with Knit stitch and knit the second row (return row) with Purl stitch. You repeat to do Knit stitch for all odd rows, like row… Read more: Stockinette stitch

Row 1: rep*(K1, P1)*

Increasing: (R4 to R31)
every even rows increase 4 stitches prorating them symmetrically between the beginning and end of row in which 2 of them places in middles and 2 of them places in two sides. keep 10 stitches fixed at the begging of each row and at the end of each row for making yarn overs for two sides and keep 2 stitches fixed in the middle for making yarn overs in the middle.
Repeat this instruction for 20 rows (reach row 23), then stop increasing for sides but continue to increase stitches in the middle for an extra 8 rows (reach row 31)

Row 4: K10, YO, K7, YO, K2, YO, K7, YO, K10
Row 5,7, 9 and all return rows: purl all stitches

    Are there directions for different sizes – children’s as well as adults?

      Hi Carol, this size will fit adult size of small, medium and large because it stretches out after completed, for kid’s size you can cut the numbers to half and try couple of rows to compare with kid’s size.

    Thank you!

    However, on written pattern, what happened to Rows 9-21? Then Rows 23, 25, 27, 29 seem to be missing also.

      Hi Kimberly, thank you for your comment. When you start the pattern you will get the order of increasing stitches and you will figure out the missing rows pattern. However if you looking for rows 9-21 you can put numbers in the below formula for X and get the row: (Put number instead of x)
      Row X: K10, YO, K(X+3), YO, K2, YO, K(X+3), YO, K10
      Also row 23,25,27,29 are return rows and are purled.
      Hope this clarifies it for you, please let me know if you need more questions. 🙂

      Hi Dalia,
      You just need to cast on a little bit more if the given size does not look big enough for yourself. Then follow the same instruction to increase 4 stitches per even row prorating them symmetrically.

      It can for sure, but it might be very complicated to work on increasing at the end part.
