CLOTHS
The piece is worked back and forth on needle/circular needle. Work a total of 4 cloths, 1 in each colour.
CLOTH
Cast on 57 stitches with Cotton Light and needle/circular needle size 3 mm.
Work 2 RIDGES – read description above. Work 1 more ridge but on the first row increase 4 stitches evenly spaced = 61 stitches (you have worked a total of 3 ridges).
Now work according to diagrams A.1 and A.2; the first row is from the right side.
From the right side: Work 3 edge stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work A.1 until there are 8 stitches left (= 5 repeats), A.2 over 5 stitches and 3 edge stitches in garter stitch.
From the wrong side: Work 3 edge stitches in garter stitch, A.2 over 5 stitches, A.1 until there are 3 stitches left (= 5 repeats) and 3 edge stitches in garter stitch.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Continue working according to the diagrams like this until the piece measures approx. 23 cm; adjust to after 1 whole or 1 half repeat of the diagrams in height, so the next row is from the right side.
Work 1 ridge but on the first row decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced = 57 stitches. Work 2 more ridges, then cast off with knit from the right side (you should have the same number of ridges as at the beginning of the piece). Cut and fasten the strand.
