GARTER ST (back and forth on needle):
K all rows. 1 ridge = K 2 rows.

SHORT ROWS (applies to rectangular pot holder):
Work 1 row over the first 14 sts, turn and work back. Work 1 row over the first 13 sts, turn and work back. Continue with short rows, work 1 st less every time until 2 rows have been worked only over the first stitch. Then work 1 row over the first 2 sts, turn and work back, 1 row over the first 3 sts, turn and work back. Continue like this by working 1 st more every time until 1 row has been worked over the first 14 sts, turn and work back.
1 repetition with short rows = 54 rows.

When turning mid piece, slip first st. Tighten yarn and continue as before. This is done to avoid holes where turning.
