1X1 RIBBING: * K 1, P 1 ; REPEAT FROM * 2nd AND ALL FOLLOWING ROWS, WORK STS AS THEY APPEAR.

IMPORTANT
AS THERE ARE NO DYE LOTS, WE RECOMMEND BUYING ENOUGH YARN AT ONE TIME TO COMPLETE EACH PROYECT. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO HAND DYING, HANKS ARE NEVER THE SAME, KNITT WITH TWO HANKS IN ASSORTED ROWS, THIS WILL ASSURE AN OVERALL BLENDED EFFECT. FOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW LABEL ON THE BALL.

ST - ST : 1 ROW (RS) KNIT; 2 ROW , PURL. REPEAT THESE 2 ROWS.

GAUGE :
IN ST - ST, WITH SIZE 10 NEEDLES: 16 STS AND 22 ROWS = 4 X 4

DIRECTIONS :
USING SIZE 10 CIRCULAR NEEDLES, CAST ON 128 (133, 138) STS. NOTE: WORK BACK AND FORTH ON CIRCULAR NEEDLE AS IF WORKING ON STRAIGHT NEEDLES. WORK IN ST - ST, UNTIL PIECE MEASURES 36 (40, 44) CM FROM BEG. RS FACING , CHANGE STS TO SIZE 4 CIRCULAR NEEDLE AND THEN, PICK UP 128(133,138) STS FROM CAST ON EDGE, = 256(266,276) STS. PLACE MARKER FOR BEG OF ROUND AND START KNITTING ON THE ROUND. WORK 12 CM (4 3/4) IN 1X1 RIB. CHANGE TO SIZE 10 CIRCULAR NEEDLE AND CONTINUE TO WORK IN ST - ST. 1 INC. (RS) ROW: K1, *(K1, P1, K1). REP FROM* TO LAST ST. 2 TO 6 ROWS: WORK EVEN. 7 INC (RS) ROW: K1, *K1F&B. REP FROM * TO LAST ST. 8 TO 10 ROWS: WORK EVEN BIND OFF ALL STS.

SLEEVE:
USING SIZE 4 CIRCULAR NEEDLES( 40 CM / 16) LONG, RIGHT SIDE FACING, PICK UP 80(82,84) STS AROUND ARMHOLE, PLACE MARKER FOR BEG OF ROUND. WORK 5 CM( 2) IN 1X1 RIB.

RUFFLE:
NOTES: TO INCREASE 2 STS IN ONE ST, WORK DOUBLE INCREASE (K1,P1,K1) = KNIT ONE ST, DO NOT SLIP ST FROM LEFT NEEDLE, BRING YARN IN FRONT AND P1, BRING YARN IN BACK AND K1, PULL OFF THE ST TO THE RIGHT NEEDLE. TO INCREASE 1 ST IN ONE ST, WORK BAR INCREASE (K1F&B) = K1, DO NOT SLIP ST FROM LEFT NEEDLE, K1 IN BACK LOOP. PULL OFF THE ST TO THE RIGHT NEEDLE.

RUFFLE:
CHANGE TO 10 CIRCULAR NEEDLES AND WORK IN THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER.

HALF DOUBLE CROCHET ( HDC ): YARN OVER HOOK, INSERT HOOK INTO 1 ST, YARN OVER, PULL LOOP THROUGH, YARN OVER AND PULL THROUGH 3 STS ON HOOK . DOUBLE CROCHET ( DC ): YARN OVER HOOK, INSERT HOOK INTO 1 ST, YARN OVER, PULL LOOP THROUGH, *YARN OVER AND PULL THROUGH 2 STS ON HOOK * REPEAT FROM * TO *. PICOT ST: 3 STS IN CHAIN ST, AND END ROUND WITH 1 SLIP ST INSERTING HOOK IN THE FIRST CHAIN ST. TRIPLE CROCHET ( TRC ): 2 YARNS OVER HOOK, INSERT HOOK INTO 1 ST, YARN OVER, PULL LOOP THROUGH, * YARN OVER AND PULL THROUGH 2 ST. ON HOOK * REPEAT FROM * TO * 3 TIMES. QUADRUPLE CROCHET: 3 YARNS OVER HOOK, INSERT HOOK INTO 1 ST, YARN OVER, PULL LOOP THROUGH, * YARN OVER AND PULL THROUGH 2 ST. ON HOOK * REPEAT FROM * TO * 4 TIMES. SHELL ST.: WORK SEVERAL STS. ( SC, DC, TRC, ETC.,) IN THE SAME BASE STIICH. CRAB ST: WORK SC, MOVING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. POPCORN ST ( POP ): ( FROM 2 TO 6 STS ) WORK 5 DC IN SAME ST, DROP LOOP FROM HOOK,INSERT HOOK IN TOP OF FIRST DC, PICK UP DROPPED LOOP, AND DRAW THROUGH ST, CHAIN 1 TIGHTLY TO SECURE ( POP MADE ). REP: REPEAT CABLE 6 ST TO RIGHT: PLACE 3 STS. ON CABLE NEEDLE AT BACK, K3, THEN K 3 STS FROM CABLE NEEDLE. K1,SL1, PSSO: KNIT ONE, SLIP ONE, PASS SLIPPED STITCH OVER YO: YARN OVER NEEDLE
