Pattern II, 3 mm needles: 22 sts = 10 cm wide. 30 rows = 10 cm long.

Deceases:

At beg of row after edge st, k2 tog, at end of row before edge st sl1, k1, psso.

Pattern I: 3mm needles: 1 edge st *p1, k2, p1*, rep from * to *, ending with 1 edge st. On subsequent rows knit the sts as they face you (= p2, k2). Pattern II: 3 mm needles: stocking st = RS k, WS p.

Pattern III: 3 mm needles: eyelet pattern, st no. divisible by 3 + 3 + 2 edge sts.

Pattern V: 3 mm needles: double tuck over 17 rows: knit 13 rows in pattern IV, mark the 7th row by knitting in a contrasting thread. On the 14th row (WS), k each of the sts tog with the corresponding st of the first row. Then knit 2 rows in pattern II. On the 3rd row (RS) k each of the sts tog with the corresponding st of the marked row (row 7). Remove contrasting thread.
