:) Pattern:

• CO 14 STS
• Rows 1 – 111 (ODD rows, back): *P2, K2, P6, K2, P2*
• Rows 2 – 110 (EVEN rows, except cable rows, front): *P4, K6, P4*
• Cable Rows 8, 20, 32, 44, 56, 68, 80, 92, 104: *P4, C6F, P4*
• Row 112: BO in pattern {meaning that you knit the knits and purl the purls just like you were doing in the body of the project.}

:) Modification:

• If you’d like to make it longer, repeat rows 93-104 one more time before finishing 105-112.
• Sew CO & BO edge together.
• No blocking necessary, but it will look nicer ;)

I use Knitter’s Pride Blockers & Pins and Knitter’s Pride Lace Blocking Wires.
