June Mid Month KAL rows

Rows for Day 2:

A few notes first, don't let them scare you if some of this is foreign to you, there is plenty of help here and on the Internet. There is always more than one way to do something so find what works for you.

P2Tog-b explanation:
P2Tog-b: Purl 2 together through back loop Inserting needle from the left, behind, into the backs of the 2nd and 1st stitches (in that order) , then wrapping yarn in front to complete the purl stitch in the usual way. Some good sites to help with this:

OR
Purl 1 stitch, return it to the left-hand needle, then with point of right hand needle pass the next st over it and off needle. Then slip the st back to right hand needle. (not everyone will agree that there is more than one way to do something – do what is comfortable with you)
Yarn Overs when Purling: You have to wrap the yarn around the needle when increasing with Yarn Overs and purling, having the yarn just lay on the needle the usual way when doing a YO on a knit row will not provide you with an extra stitch.

I have given instructions “stitch by stitch” instead of using the usual * to repeat sequence of stitches because several rows may throw you off using the traditional method.

Here are the rows for Day 1:

Materials:
#7 Knitting Needles

Any Cotton yarn 1 skein

Cast on 37 stitches

This border pattern is 9 rows, three rows Moss (K1, P1), three rows stockinette and three more rows Moss (K1, P1). You can use whatever border you like, I just wanted something different.

Notes:

Lifelines are recommended with this cloth, I always use them when working with a lace pattern.

I have given instructions “stitch by stitch” instead of using the usual * to repeat sequence of stitches because several rows may throw you off using the traditional method.
