Used Patterns

For main patterns A and B: work due to the scheme, on which only RS rows are stated. Make all sts and yarn overs as purls in WS rows. Start with 1 selvage st and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st.

Pattern B: 24 sts x 26,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

1 x 1 rib: 26,5 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
