Stitch Instructionsk:knit

ybwd: Move working yarn to back

p:purl

DPN(s): Double pointed needle(s)

rem: remain(s), remaining

st(s): stitch(es)

CO: Cast On

yfwd: Bring working yarn in front

BO: Bind off

unwkd: unworked

sl: slip st purl-wise from left needle to right needle.

Turkish Cast on: Tie a slip-knot in the yarn, hold DPN horizontally with the circular needle below it. Place the slip-knot onto both

needles & tighten with working yarn hanging down. Wrap yarn counterclockwise towards the right until you have half the number of

wraps as CO sts (pattern says CO 32, you should have 16 wraps.) yfwd between the two needles. Slide circular needle towards the

right, positioning the nylon cable in the bottom half of loops with the tips dangling. Insert a third needle purl-wise into the first loop &

purl a stitch & slide it off the left needle as you would do with regular sts. Repeat this step for the appropriate number of loops on the

left needle. You now have the proper number of stitches. Half on 1 needle and half on the other.

p enc (purl encroachment): sl 1, pick up 1 st below next st, p2tog

k enc (knit encroachment): sl 1, pick up 1 st below next st, k2tog.

Consolidation: Divide stitches evenly onto two needles. While holding them horizontal & parallel to each other, insert a third needle

knit-wise into the first stitch on your front needle then insert the needle knit-wise into the first stitch on the back needle. k2tog.

m1(a): make a backward loop and place it on the right hand needle with the working yarn pointing away from you (You may substitute

your favorite increase stitch if you prefer)k2tog tbl: insert right needle into two stitches purl-wise through the back loop of each stitch, knit them together. (You may substitutek2tog if you prefer, I use this method simply for ease.)I-Cord: Cast on 4 sts using DPNs. Knit, do not turn, slide the sts back to the beginning of the needle and k the row again. Continue in

this manner until you have a short length of knitting, pull down on the cord and the gap at the back will close. Continue until the cord is

the length you desire.

KFB: knit next st, do not slide off the left needle yet. Instead ybwd, insert right needle purl-wise into the back loop of the same stitch

and knit. You now have two sts where you once had one.
