FRONT AND BACK (make 2 alike)

With 1 strand of 1 st color and 1 strand of 2nd color, cast on 40 sts. and work 4 rows in garter st. (every row k.) Change to st.st. (1 row k., 1 row p.) and work 6 rows.

These last 10 rows form the pattern which is referred to below.

Row 3 – Knit
Row 4 – Knit
Row 5 – Knit
Row 6 – Purl

Comments

  1. I have a cream blackberry and ruffled round powder puff cover (Celine box inside) with a lid…what could it have been used for? I didn’t knit it, but it is darling. Could it have been a special cover for her powder, or was the round box used to make a holder for???

  2. The reason I gave this 5 stars was that I didn’t understand the directions and the patterns was rewritten and now I do!!! Thanks so much
