directions

CO 176 using an elastic method and join to begin working in the round, placing a stitch marker to indicate beginning of round. (As you work the first round, you may want to place stitch markers between a few of the pattern repeats to help you keep an eye on the stitch count.) Work chart 1 once, then work through charts 2 to 5, completing each chart once. Note that after 1st round of chart 3, stitch count is 154, after 1"t round of chart 4 it is 132, and after 1"t round of chart 5, you have 110 sts. After completing chart 5 once, work this chart once more with the following adjustment: on first row of chart, work ssk instead of sssk, and k2tog instead of k3tog. Now work chart 6. After completing this chart once, repeat chart rows 9 and 10 for aprox. 6 cm. Change to smaller needle and continue working row 9 and 10 for another 3 cm. Cast off loosely, weave in yarn ends and block. (When blocking items that have been knitted in the round, I tend to block flat first, then once the item is dry I open it up and gently press with an iron to removed creases that were formed at the sides.)
