Pattern:

CO in multiples of 10 + 3
Row 1 = Right Side/Front

Row 1: *P3, YO, S1, K1, PSSO, K5* P3
Row 2: *K3, P4, P2TOG TBL, YO, P1* K3
Row 3: *P3, K2, YO, S1, K1, PSSO, K3* P3
Row 4: *K3, P2, P2TOG TBL, YO, P3* K3
Row 5: *P3, K4, YO, S1, K1, PSSO, K1* P3
Row 6: *K3, P2TOG TBL, YO, P5* K3
Row 7: *P3, K7* P3
Row 8: *K3, P7,* K3

Note: You should always have 7 STS between your purl stripes. I got into the habit of double checking. I sometimes forgot to add the YO after the P2TOG TBL and had to “tink” back and fix it. When you make a mistake on this pattern, it’s pretty obvious. :(
