Sept 16th KAL Day 1

Here are the rows for day 1:

Supplies: 1 ball Cotton yarn [your choice of color],

Size 6 US needles [or your preferred needle size]

Info for one special stitch used: Skpo = slip one stitch, knit the next stitch, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted one and off the needles

 

If you haven't done this one before, check here : http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/abbreviations_explained/

 

NOTE: For the skpo, yes, this results in one less stitch - BUT, you have also done a YO [yarn over], so that compensates and makes the stitch count the same at the end of the row, at 40 stitches.

 

Directions: To save yourself some possible grief, count your stitches regularly, being sure you do the yo [yarn overs]!

 

Cast on 40 stitches

Row 1: knit across

Row 2: knit across

Row 3: knit across

Row 4: knit across

Row 5: K3, *P2, K6, repeat from * to last 5 sts, P2, K3.

Row 6: K5, *P6, K2, repeat from * to last 3 sts., K3.

Row 7: K3, * P2, yo, k2, skpo, k2, rep from * to last 5 sts., p2, k3. [Where it says skpo, in between the two "K2 skpo K2" are the 2 stitches that you work with to slip one, then knit the next one, and then pass that slipped stitch over the one you knit - then proceed to row's directions: K2, etc.]

Row 8: K5, *P6, K2, repeat from * to last 3 sts. K3.

Row 9: K3, * p2, k1, yo, k2, skpo, k1 rep from * to last 5 sts, p2, k3.

Row 10: K5, *P6, K2, repeat from * to last 3 sts., K3.
