Jacquard Pattern

: the quantity of sts is multiple of 4 + 1 + 2 selvage sts. Work according to the scheme with stockinette stitch, draw non-working yarn on the WS of work. There are only RS rows stated on the scheme. Make WS rows as sts face. Start with 1 selvage st, pattern repeat, and finish with st after the pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. Make 1^st-12^th rows once, finishing with 1^st-2^nd rows.

Stitch Control

20 sts x 20.5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
