Loved my first one so much, making another, this one in natural oatmeal aran tweed. The needles I had to use were one size bigger with this yarn then what pattern called for to get gauge.

Work the pattern same as first one, but making 5 inches shorter to have different style, will adjust the length and add notes as I go.

28 sts for rib pattern to equal 5 inches.

LEFT AND RIGHT FRONTS ON MY PATTERN ONLY MAKING IT 5 INCHES SHORTER THEN ORIGINAL PATTERN measure body before decreases end at 23 inches from ribbing to start my front decreases.

Sets are the pattern repeat for the basket rib.

1st row: (RS). Knit.
2nd row: Purl.
3rd row: K1. Sl1P. Rep from to
last st. K1.
4th row: K1. Sl1Pwyif. Rep from
to last st. K1.
These 4 rows form Basket Rib Pat.**

note to self, this is not pattern, but knit continental or aka picking, on row three hold yarn in back.

3rd row: K1. Sl1Pwyib. Rep from to last st. K1. 4th row: K1. Sl1Pwyif. Rep from to last st. K1.
