Cast on an odd number of sts. 1st row: K 1, p 1, and repeat ending with k 1. Repeat this row for desired length always having a knitted st over a purled st, and a purled st over a knitted st.

Cast on an odd num­ber of sts and k 1 row. 1st row: K 1, * o, k 3, sl 1st of 2 sts over other 2 sts. Repeat from * across. 2nd row: K across, knitting the o as a st. 3rd row: * K 3, sl 1st of 3 sts over the next 2 sts, o, repeat from * across ending with o, k 1. 4th row: K across, knitting the o as a st.
