STRIPE PATTERN

Over stockinette stitch, work stripe patt as follows:

2 rows in B

2 rows in C

2 rows in D

2 rows in E

2 rows in A

Rep these 10 rows for stripe patt.

Note:If you don’t want to have to weave in so many ends, you can carry the yarns
alternately up the side as you go (see page 118).

SSK (LEFT-SLANTING) DECREASE
Slip first st as if to knit and then slip next st as if to knit. Insert left needle
into front of slipped sts and knit them together.
