GETTING STARTED if you finish each length of knitting at the underarm front and back neck and shoulder lengths on the 6th or 12th row of pattern a frilly edge will be avoided on the cable plaits. all edge stitches are knitted. Plaited cable: worked over 15 st and 12 rounds or rows Knitted in the round Round 1 to 4: K15 Round 5: slip 5 sts on cable needle and leave at back of work, K5sts, K5 from cable needle, K5. Round 6 to 10: K15 Round 11: K5, slip next 5 sts on to cable needle and leave at front of work, K5, K5 from cable needle. Round 12: K15 When knitting the pattern in rows the even numbered rows (WS) are purled.

WORKING PATTERN BODY using 3.75mm circ needle cast on 208(220, 232) using the thumb method. Set up round 1: join for knitting in the round being careful not the twist. This is the start of the first plait that sits at the side. * Place marker, p2, k15, p2, k6(7,8) p2, k15, p2, k8(10,12) p2, k15, p2, k8(10,12) p2, k15, p2, k6(7,8) repeat from * to end of round. Round 2 to 4: repeat round 1. Round 5: for each cable placement of 15 sts work per

plaited cable patter round 5. Round 6 to 10: work as per round 1. Round 11: for each cable placement of 15 sts work as per plaited cable pattern round 11. Round 12: work as per round 1. Change to 4mm circ needle and continue knitting in the round for 12 rounds of pattern until the desired length to the underarm finish at either round 6 or round 12 (WS)row. Armhole dividing the work to knit front and back separately and knit in rows. Change to using straight needles and work the pattern in rows.

FRONT remove marker, leaving next 2 sts on circ needle and using straight needle cast off underarm 15 sts, p2, and continue in pattern to next marker. remove marker and p2. Turn work and continue in rows with the straight needles, leaving the sts for the back on the circ needle.

NECK after 12(12, 18)rows of pattern are completed from the start of the armhole shaping begin

the neck shaping. Pattern to the start of the centre 15 plait stitches, turn work to knit the left front side. Cast off 3(4, 5)sts at the neck edge, 2 sts at the neck edge twice then 1st st twice. This leaves a selvedge st and 2 purl sts either side of the plait for the strap.

bACKSTITCH This is the stitch most commonly used for joining knitted garments. With the right sides of your work together, pin the knitted fabric together with the edges even. The seam should be sewn one full stitch from the end of the row. One stitch should be worked over every row. Thread the yarn needle. Insert the needle through both layers and sew two stitches to the left then one stitch back to the right. Keep stitches at an even distance. Continue working from right to left in this circular motion. (Diagram 1)
