(10 cm) in Eyelet pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased. skp Slip 1 as if to knit, knit 1, pass slip stitch over knit stitch - 1 st decreased. sl2kp (slip 2-k1-pass slipped sts over) A double decrease worked as follows: 1. Insert right needle into next 2 sts as if to knit them tog, and slip them from the left needle to the right needle. 2. Knit the next st.
3. With tip of left needle, lift the 2 slipped sts (the 2nd and 3rd sts on the right needle) up and over the knit st (first st on right needle) and off the needle - you have decreased 2 sts.
