Commence by casting on 2 st on each of three needles. Knit 1st row plain.
2nd Row.—Knit twice into each st, thus—knit the st, but retain it on the left needle, twist the point of the right needle round to the back of the st and knit the other side of this st, then drop the st off the left needle. Repeat into every st.
3rd Row, and every Alternate Row.—Knit plain.
4th Row.—* Knit 1, knit twice into next st, repeat from *.
6th Row.—* Knit 2, knit twice into each st, repeat from *.
8th Row.—* Knit 3, knit twice into next st, repeat from *.
Continue in this way, increasing the number of stitches in each section by 1 st before the increase until in the 46th row, there are 24 st in each section, that is 144 st in the row.
Knit 42 rows on the 144 st.
89th Row.—* Knit 11, knit twice into the next st, repeat from *.
90th Row.—Knit plain and repeat these 2 rows until the number in each section is increased to 20, then knit 10 rows of the 240 st.
