INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1, A.2 and A.3. The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side.
----------------------------------------------------------
CLOTHS:
The cloths are worked back and forth in 6 different colours.
Cast on 49 stitches with needle size 3 mm and Paris. Knit 5 rows.
Then work according to diagrams A.1, A.2 and A.3 as follows:
From the right side, the diagrams are read from right to left and worked as follows: A.1 over the first 4 stitches, repeat A.2 over the next 42 stitches and A.3 over the last 3 stitches.
From the wrong side, the diagrams are read from left to right and worked as follows:
A.3 over the first 3 stitches, repeat A.2 over the next 42 stitches and A.1 over the last 4 stitches.
Continue to work according to the diagrams in this way until the piece measures approx. 21 cm (approx. 10 repeats in height); adjust so that you finish after a whole repeat and make sure that you have enough yarn to finish the cloth. Knit 5 rows and cast off with knit on the next row. Cut and fasten the strand.
Work 1 cloth in each colour.
