When your squares are done, sew them together at the plain part, at the beginning, where the increasings were made. They ought to make a perfect Maltese cross. Cast on 1 stitch and increase every row. Knit until you have 27 stitches on your needle. This completes the first division.
Twenty-eighth row—make 1, pearl the rest.
Twenty-ninth row—make 1, knit the remainder.
Thirtieth row—make 1, pearl 1, * put thread before the needle, pearl 2 together. Repeat from *.
Thirty-first row—make 1, knit the rest.
Thirty-second row—make 1, pearl the rest.
Do the 33rd and 34th rows like the 31st, and now the 2nd division is done.
Thirty-fifth row—make 1, * knit 2, pearl 2. Repeat from *.
Thirty-sixth row—make 1, * pearl 2, knit 2. Repeat from*. Knit the last stitch.
