Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in golden yellow
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on a multiple of 12 stitches plus 3. For example, if you want to cast on 39 stitches, you would do 12 x 3 + 3 = 39.
2. Row 1 (Right Side):
   • Knit the first 3 stitches (K3).
   • Now, repeat the following sequence until you reach the last 3 stitches:
     • Knit 2 stitches together (k2tog).
     • Knit 4 stitches (k4).
     • Yarn over (yo).
     • Knit 1 stitch (k1).
     • Yarn over again (yo).
     • Knit 4 stitches (k4).
     • Slip, slip, knit (ssk).
   • Finally, knit the last 3 stitches (K3).
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to your chevron pattern.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 1 and Row 2 until your piece reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful chevron texture that defines this pattern.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure your edges remain flexible.
