The engraving from Weldon’s Practical Knitter was crazy; I had to knit it! I corrected 19 of 25 rows and changed the selvage stitches for easier sewing later. The odd-numbered rows are simply knit and purl stitches. The front and back sides are nearly identical.

Skills needed: long tail cast-on, knit, purl, slip, slip1-slip1-knit-together (SSK), yarn over and bind-off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able thread/yarn and any size needles will work. Make a swatch to check the look and width of your work.

13 yards of #10 crochet cotton will make 24 rows (about 2”) with a 38-stitch width.
