In 16 cm, there are 17 pattern repeats in work (14 sts are increased). Crochet 16 cm straight, then, 16 cm more, increasing sts due to the pattern design. There are 20 pattern repeats in work (16 sts are increased). Crochet 9 cm straight, then, bind off 12 sts and finish to the end of row. Then, make detail due to the pattern design.
