Cast on 30 stitches. I used the long tail cast on, but any cast on method will work. Now start the foundation triangles. You will be turning the work often. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is what the first triangle looks like when completed. The next triangle is worked over the next group of stitches in the same manner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Your foundation triangles will look like this. You will now start Step 1 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Start with the purl side facing and purl 2 stitches, then you will turn your work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A close up of the lifted bar increase (put the needle in the yarn between the two stitches, then knit in the back of the stitch, twisting the stitch to avoid a hole) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

An example of the P2tog. Notice one stitch is from the step 1 triangle and one is from the foundation triangle. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The completed P2tog | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

With the purl side facing, you will pick up stitches along the edge purl wise (put the needle into the stitch from back to front, wrap yarn to purl) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Here's how the purlwise picked up stitches look | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After turning, working the knit row, then turning again, you will work to the end, then P2tog (again, one from the current Step and one from the Foundation Step) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One rectangle completed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 1 almost complete. All rectangles worked, but we still need to do the Left Pointed Triangle | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pick up stitches purlwise across the last Foundation Triangle as you did earlier. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You will be decreasing one stitch every right side row | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
