This was originally a large swatch for December in 2017. I have converted to a KAL for 2018 by adding a few more stitches for the border.

Knitted in a multiple of 18 sts, + 11 and a 16-row repeat.
Cast on:  37 stitches (18 + 11 = 29+8 Border=37)

Repeat rows 1-16 and then rows 1-8 once more and work border or repeat rows 1-16 till desired length:
Border:

(I worked rows 1-16 a total of 2 times and then worked rows 1-8 once more and then worked the border)
