CLOTH - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle in GARTER STITCH – read description above. Work 7 cloths in domino squares and the different colour combinations.
DOMINO SQUARE:
Cast on 5 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and the cast-on colour – read COLOURS above. Insert 1 marker thread in the middle stitch.
Work the domino square as follows:
ROW 1 (= wrong side): Knit.
ROW 2 (= right side): Knit as far as the stitch with the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1 (stitch with marker thread), 1 yarn over, knit to end of row.
ROW 3 (= wrong side): Knit.
ROW 4 (= right side): Knit as far as the stitch with the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1 (stitch with marker thread), 1 yarn over, knit to end of row.
Work ROWS 1-4 onwards until the cloth colours have been completed. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! The piece measures approx. 23 x 23 cm. Cast off – but on the cast-off row increase as before in the corner; yarn overs are cast off as you go (this avoids the corners being tight).
