knitting pattern instructions

puffball stitch PATTERN

Use multiples of 10 sts + 2

The wrong side of your knitting, will form your front side.

I knit the sample using 32 sts over 48 rows.

Knit as follows:-

Row 1(ws) -  purl

2nd Row  -  knit

3nd Row  - purl

4th Row  -  k1, *(k5, turn, purl 5) x 3 = 6 rows in stocking stitch on these 5 sts, k10; rep from *to end, k1

5th Row   - purl

6th Row   - knit

7th Row   - purl

8th Row   - k6, *(k5, turn, purl 5) x 3 = 6 rows in stocking stitch on these 5 sts, k10; rep from *to last 6sts, k6

Repeat these 8 rows until your work is the desired length. 

Cast off and weave in ends.
