2) Knitting diagram of the first row: remove the first edge loop, we insert two facial loops and one insoluble, we repeat so until the end of the row, and then insert the last edge loop face.
3) The second row: remove one edge loop, in line with one facial loop, then we make a nakid, after that there are two facial loops and stretch them into the Caida, this part is repeated to the end of the row, then the last edge loop is silent.
4) Then we carry out the alternation of the templates of the first and second row.
The third row of the pattern knit the same way as the first row: we remove the first edge loop, they insert two facial loops and one insoluble, repeat so until the end of the row, and then they insert the last edge loop face.
The fourth row knie the same way as the second row: we remove one edge loop, in line with one facial loop, then we make a nakid, after that there are two facial loops and stretch them into the nakid, this part is repeated until the end of the row, then the last edge loop to the front .
Then knit to the necessary height.
