Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 2. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-7^th rows due to the colors order.

Stitches control: 19 sts x 9,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
