You'll Need

• 100-150 g of DROPS NEPAL from Garnstudio yarn (75m/50g, 65% wool, 35% alpaca), 0100 eco colour;
• Two-directional knitting needles (40 cm) 5mm;
• Circle knitting needles (40 cm) 3.5 mm - for the rib.

Density of Knitting

Density: 17 sts x 22 rows of plain knitting = 10 x 10 cm, "plait" pattern 26 rows - 10 cm.

Knitting Instructions

Cast on 84-96 sts with NEPAL thread on circle needles 3.5 mm. Knit 10 rows in rib: 3 purls/3 knit sts, starting with 3 purls. Begin the next circle: *3 purls, 1 knit st, 1 yo, 1 knit, 1 yo, 2 knit sts, 1 purl, 2 knit sts, 1 yo, 1 knit st, 1 yo, 1 knit st*, repeat from * to * until the end = 112-128 sts.

Change to needles 5 mm and continue as follows: *3 purls, scheme M2 (yo of the previous circle, knit with knit st back)*, repeat from * to * until the end (=7-8 patterns).

Switch to two-directional needles when the quantity of sts allows for it. After scheme M2, you should have 42-48 sts on the needles.

Next circle: knit all 3 purls together into 1 purl = 28-32 sts.

Next circle: 2 knit sts together until the end = 14-16 sts.

Cut off the thread and draw through the remaining sts twice. Weave in all the ends for a clean finish.
