Used Patterns

Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 7 + 2. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches control: main pattern: 16 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
