BEGIN OF WORK
Using 3mm (US 212) needles and color B yarn, cast on 85 sts. Rows 1 (Rs) - 14 (= 14 rows total): work with yarn B in garter stitch, work selvedge sts at the edges. Rows 15 - 36 (= 22 rows total): work in stitch pattern I (see page 3). Begin two sts before the pattern repeat, then work the 16 sts of the pattern repeat 5 times in all, after this, complete the row by working the 3 sts after the pattern repeat (= 85 sts). Rows 37 - 50 (= 14 rows total): work with yarn B in garter stitch, work selvedge sts at the edges. To avoid having to break color A yarn (not used during these rows), you may carefully carry it up in the selvedge sts: To do this, twist strands in colors A and B at the beginning of every RS row. Use this method every time when working a garter stitch section in color B. Rows 51 - 68 (= 18 rows total): work in stitch pattern III (see page 4). Start 2 sts before the right pattern repeat, then work the 8 sts of the right pattern repeat 5 times in all, work the center stitch, now, work the 8 sts of the left pattern repeat 5 times in all, complete the row by working the 2 sts after the left pattern repeat (=85 sts).

Start 2 sts before the right pattern repeat, then work the 8 sts of the right pattern repeat 5 times in all, work the center stitch, now, work the 8 sts of the left pattern repeat 5 times in all, complete the row by working the 2 sts after the left pattern repeat (=85 sts). 14 rows total): work with yarn B in garter stitch, work selv Rows 107 - 128 (= 22 rows total): work in stitch pattern II (see page 4). Begin two sts before the pattern repeat, then work the 16 sts of the pattern repeat 5 times in all, complete the row by working the 3 sts after the pattern repeat (=85 sts).
