Material
1 skein of Merino DK Da Fazenda. (100% Merino wool) Circular needle 4mm
4 markers
Size 140cm (circumference) x 15cm (h)
Key k – knit p – purl k tbl – knit through the back loop k2tog – knit 2 together sm – slip marker
Directions
Cast on 240 sts placing a marker each 60 sts (use a different marker to the last one to indicate the end/beginning of the circle). Close to work in rounds.
Work first round in k1-p1 ribbing.
Then,
rdn 1: *k1-p1 ribbing to the marker, sm, (k1tbl, yo, k2tog) to the marker, sm*. Repeat from * to * once more. rdn 2: *k1-p1 ribbing to the marker, sm, (k1tbl, p1, k1) to the marker, sm*. Repeat from * to * once more. rdn 3: *k1-p1 ribbing to the marker, sm, (k1tbl, k2tog, yo) to the marker, sm*. Repeat from * to * once more. rdn 4: *k1-p1 ribbing to the marker, sm, (k1tbl, k1, k1) to the marker, sm*. Repeat from * to * once more.
Everytime you finish round 4 it’s time to move markers (all of them) 3 sts ahead. You always gonna have the same number of stitches in each section – 120 in eyelet sections. and 120 in ribbing sections.
Important: when moving markers, keep working ribbing pattern as stablished.
Repeat directions to the end of the skein.
Bind off loosely.
