• Row 3: P2 *K2, P2*
• Row 4: K2 *P2, K2* {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Repeat rows 1-4 until desired length.
• If you’re not adding a border, to BO I recommend ending on a row 3 and BO in the row 4 pattern.
• This is a great/easy pattern to pick up and put down, once you see the pattern it’s easy to follow.
• Every other row you knit the same stitches {k the k’s and p the p’s} and every other row you knit the opposite stitch {k the p’s and p the k’s}.
