POINTS USED
Garter Tab Cast on: cast-on 3 sts. and work 6 r. in garter st.
Next r.: k3, turn 90° and pick-up 3 sts. along long side (on “knots” of garter st.), turn 90° again and pick-up 3 cast-on sts. [=9 sts.]
Increase to the right: using left needle, lift the yarn between left and right needle, insert the needle under the yarn from front to back, then knit it through back loop.
Increase to the left: using left needle, lift the yarn between left and right needle, insert the needle under the yarn from back to front, then knit it.
Inner increase: work same stitch twice, first time like usually and then through back loop, at last drop it.
Decrease to the left: slip 1 k-wise, slip next stitch too. Move both stitches onto left needle and then knit them together though back loop.
Sk2p: slip 1, k2tog, pass slipped st. over k2tog.
Sk2p with central rib: slip 2 sts. together k-wise, k1, pass 2 slipped sts. over k1.
sk5p: slip 2 sts. tog. p-wise, p3tog, pass 2 slipped sts. over p3tog.
sk3/2p: k3, insert the point of left needle in first st., pass this st. over 2 rem. sts.
