Pattern Instructions

CO 48 STS, PM, join in the round.

Round 1: *K1, P1*

Round 2: *K1, K1BLW*

Round 3: *P1, PULY+P1*

Round 4: *K1BLW, K1*

Round 5: *PULY+P1, P1*

Repeat Rounds 2-5, 16 times, or until desired height.

End on a round 4 and BO on a round 5.

BO by picking-up the extra stitch below, put it on the left-hand needle, knit the next 2 STS together and then purl the next stitch, repeat. 

Note: I ended up with a “seam” where the stitch marker was when I transitioned to the next Round. I tried to tighten the stitch, but it didn’t work as well as I’d hoped. You can sew it up to bring it together better. However, once you have it on, it’s hardly noticeable.

Weave in the ends.

Block, if desired.
