1st row—Slip 1, knit 1, * make 1, knit 2, repeat from mark.

2nd row—Purl.

3rd row—Slip 1, knit 1, make 1, knit 2, make 1, slip 1, knit 2, turn the slipped stitch over the 2 knitted, (make 1, knit 2 twice.)

4th row—Purl.

5th row—Slip 1, knit 1, make 1, knit 2; these are the edge stitches, and therefore not repeated in the row. Make 1, slip 1, knit 2, turn the slipped stitch over, and repeat until the last 4 stitches; then make 1, knit 2 twice.

Repeat the last 2 rows, until there are 120 stitches on the pin, knit a purl row, next row knit the edge stitches and 15 patterns, (or 50 stitches); cast off 24 stitches, and, with another pin, finish the row. This finishes the back.

The ends are then decreased in the following manner:

The wool is now at the left side, leave the 50 stitches on the other pin, and work the other 50, thus:

1st row—Purl, at the end of row purl 2 together.

2nd row—Slip 1, knit 2, turn over, repeat the pattern to the end.
