Instructions

Cast on 68 stitches with Opera yarn and knitting needles size 8. Make the pearled and wavy pattern according to the scheme, starting with 1 WS row and repeat the pattern between arrows 4 times. Repeat the 8^th-33^rd rows 6 times after the 33^rd row, and bind off the stitches loosely in the 33^rd row. In total, this will amount to 160 cm = 189 rows.

Create a fringe with single crochets along the extensional sides using Estivo II yarn and crochet hook size 4. Make single crochets in the 1^st row, placing 9 single crochets every 10 cm. In the 2^nd row, make 1 single crochet in every single crochet from the previous row as follows: insert the crochet hook into the stitch of the previous row, twist the working yarn around 3 fingers of your left hand, draw the working yarn through the stitch, and continue single crocheting to the end of the row. Pull your fingers from the stitches, and make 1 tight chain stitch to secure the stitch. For the 3^rd row, repeat the same process as for the 2^nd row.

All the stitches should be placed in front of the work once and behind the work once. Secure the narrow sides in the same manner.
