I’ve been an avid crocheter for some time now and eventually decided to dabble in the world of knitting. Of course, I then inevitably made the mistake of telling people that I was learning to knit and getting sent requests as well as patterns to try out. Most of them were way out of my depth but one that a friend sent me seemed easy enough, though I can honestly say that I’ve got no idea where she must have gotten it from. The original directions were as follows: Cast on 5, increase to 50 stitches, decrease to 5, cast off. It took me a little bit of research but I finally science’d out what it was that she was trying to say and I think I might have even managed to replicate the results quite well. I would like to think that my version of the written pattern is a wee bit easier to follow though, as it has actual steps and not just a couple of vague ideas all in a row.

Pattern: Cast on 5 stitches, I used a long tail cast on Row 1: Kn 2 st, inc, Kn all across (continue until you have 50 stitches on your needle) Row 45: Kn 1 st, dec, inc, dec, knit all across (continue until you have 5 stitches on your needle)
