Size
4-8 years
You'll Need
- 100g of YarnArt yarn (50% wool, 50% acryl)
- Knitting needles size 4.5
- Satin ribbon
Instructions
Knit the faux rib ornament in the following rows:
Row Instructions
1st row: 1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch.
2nd row: 1 purl stitch. Insert the knitting needle in the middle of the next stitch from the previous row and make 1 knit stitch. Repeat these actions to the end of the row. Alternate these rows.
Making Double Decreases
Make the double decreases of stitches in the following way: transfer 2 stitches on the right-hand needle, make 1 knit stitch, and pull it through the slipped stitch.
Stitches Control
16 stitches x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm of faux rib.
Starting the Ornament
Cast on 73 stitches and knit the faux rib ornament. Start and finish the rib with 1 knit stitch.
Height and Decreases
When the height is 9 cm from the edge, bind off 1 stitch from the beginning of the row, then continue making the faux rib ornament, decreasing 16 stitches in one stripe. You need to make 8 double decreases.
Final Touch
After that, make the faux rib ornament again to a height of 24 cm from the edge and bind off all the stitches.
