7. At the end of the RH corner
   triangle, you can see the 10 sts
   now on the RH needle.


8. Now work the right side
   rectangles. There are two to
   complete. Pick up and k10
   along the edge of the triangle
   immediately next to the RH
   corner triangle (one of the base
   triangles). For this pattern only,
   insert the tip of the RH needle
   through only half a stitch
   when picking up a stitch. You’ll
   probably pick up one stitch
   approximately every 2 rows.


9. Here are the 10 sts picked
   up along the side of the base
   triangle. Now work the 2-row
   RS rectangle pattern as foll:
   turn so that you are on a WS
   row and work (p2, k2) twice,
   p2, then turn again.
   10. Now on the RS row, (k2, p2)
   twice, then k1. Now work an ssk
   with the last of the group of 10
   sts with the first stitch of the
   next group on the LH needle,
   as shown here. Turn and repeat
   the two rows till there are no
   more sts left in the group of 10
   sts on the LH needle.

Repeat for the next RS

rectangle from image 8.

11. Here is an image of the
    completed RH corner triangle
    and the two RS rectangles.


12. Now work the LH corner
    triangle. Still with the RS
    facing, pick up and k10 as
    before along the side edge
    of the base triangle. Here
    the 10 sts have been picked
    up. Complete the triangle by
    purling 2 sts together at the
    beginning of each WS row till
    only 1 st remains on the RH
    needle and the WS is facing.
    13. Here is the single stitch
    on the RH needle with the
    WS facing. Now work the WS
    rectangles. First pick up and purl
    10 sts along the side of the LH
    corner triangle. Insert the tip of
    the needle through half of the
    stitch when picking up stitches.
    14. All 10 sts have been picked
    up. The WS rectangle pattern
    is worked over 2 rows. Turn, so
    that the RS is facing and work
    (k2, p2) twice, then k2. Turn
    and work (p2, k2) twice, then
    p1. Now purl the last stitch
    together with the first stitch of
    the next group. Repeat these
    2 rows till there are no more
    stitches in the next group
    and the WS is facing. Pick up
    the next group of 10 sts and
    repeat. Work another WS
    rectangle.
    15. All 3 WS rectangles have
    been worked as shown here
    and your work has been turned
    so that the RS is facing. Work
    a RH corner as before, shown
    in images 4 to 7. Work the 2 RS
    rectangles as before, shown in
    images 8 to 10, picking up sts
    along the side of the rectangles
    rather than the base triangles.
    Work a LH corner triangle as
    before, shown in image 12. (A
    single stitch remains on the RH
    needle and WS facing).
    16. Now work the end triangles.
    Pick up and p9 along the side
    of the LH corner triangle to
    give you 10 sts. P2tog at the
    beginning of every WS row, p
    to the last stitch of this group,
    then p2tog with this st and the
    first st of the next group on the
    LH needle. Knit each RS row.
    Repeat these 2 rows till a total
    of 4 sts are left, ending with a
    RS row. Turn and p2tog twice,
    then pass the first p2tog stitch
    over the next one to leave one
    stitch. Then repeat picking up
    stitches as before across the
    remaining two groups of 10 sts.
    Cast off remaining stitch.
