November Mid Month KAL-Day 3

Below is Day 3....We have these test knitted by myself or a tester in our group so we know if we may need to make some changes. If you are wondering where others are on the KAL or have questions about the KAL, you can send a question to the group, that is best way to handle any questions. I worked this cloth 2 months ago and I am not knitting it right now so I may not be able to answer certain questions if I am not physically working the cloth with you.

DAY 3
Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 2 stitches, P2.
Row 22: K3, YO, K to last 11 sts, turn.
Row 24: K3, YO, K to last 12 sts, turn.
Row 26: K3, YO, K to last 14 sts, turn.
Row 28: K3, YO, K to last 15 sts, turn.
Row 30: K3, YO, K to last 16 sts, turn.

Previous:

You will need #7 US needle and one skein of cotton yarn in either a solid color or a pastel variegated color, #137 Sunrise (Peaches & Crème) yarn is a suggested color but any of the above mentioned colors will work too. We will be dealing with "short rows". For those new to knitting, all that means is we may be working some of the stitches of a row but then turning our work and going in the opposite direction. You can probably find out more about this technique from www.knittinghelp.com.

DAY 1:
This cloth is made up of 6 or 7 wedges, all exactly the same. Don't cast off after every wedge, you should have the same number of stitches on your needles as you cast on at the beginning ie. 20
stitches.

Cast on 20 stitches.

Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 2 stitches, P2.
Row 2: K3, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K3, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: K3, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K3, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
REMEMBER.....All odd number rows you Knit across to within last 2.
stitches and P2 (all stitches are worked on this row).

DAY 2
Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 2 stitches, P2.
Row 12: K3, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.
Row 14: K3, YO, K to last 7 sts, turn.
