Instruction:
The pattern creates a very strechy fabric. Perhaps you should knit an example, to find out the best fitting number of stiches. I did mine with 64 stiches and that turned out a little bit too big (56 stiches would have been the better choice for my arms). You need a multiple of 8 stiches for the “drop-stich"-pattern. Cast on 56 stiches and close to round, beeing careful, not to twist the stiches. Place marker if needed. Knit 3 rounds k2, p2 Repeat rounds 2.-1. to a length of 23 cm from cast on: Setup-round: \*k1, yo, k1, p2, k2, p2\* repeat from \* to \* 2.-6.round: \*k3, p2, k2, p2\* repeat from \* to \* round: \*k1, drop next stitch down to the yo, k1, p2, k1, yo, k1, p2\* repeat \* to \* 8-12.round: \* k2, p2, k3, p2\* repeat \* to \* 1.round: \*k1, yo, k1, p2, k1, drop next stitch down to the yo, k1,p2\* repeat \* to \* Setdown-round (after a round 6 or 12): drop the stitch but no new yo Knit 3 rounds k2, p2 and bind off Knit a second piece and weave in all ends.
