Detail Finishing:

• Performed with 1x1 ribbing (1 knit, 1 purl).

Legend:

• | — knit stitch

• – — purl stitch

• / — slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in front

• Knit as follows:
  Yarn over, knit 3 together, yarn over.

• Forms a decorative element with a braid in the center.

Knitting Diagram:

• Pattern Repeat — 39 stitches wide, 31 rows high.

• The pattern is read from bottom to top, right to left (in knit rows).

• All odd rows — knit, even rows (not specified) — purl and follow the pattern, yarn overs — as purls.

Legend:

• | — knit stitch

• – — purl stitch

• U — yarn over

• ∇ (triangle) — knit 3 stitches together (central decrease)

Pattern Repeat:

• The pattern creates a lace arrow/tree pointing upwards in the center.

• Yarn overs are added to each side of the central vertical and immediately decreased (3 together) for balance.

• This stabilizes the fabric and maintains the total number of stitches.
