Notes

Bond KP 4/147 needles
3 Cast on Combs
Rib Weights -1 small ribber weight and one claw weight on the end combs and 1 small ribber weight in the center comb. Move the claw weight up every 10 rows.

Tuck Weights -3 large ribber
Strip yarn so it flows easily

Start with WY and COL with the ribbing, leave a tail for sewing the side seam.

Work loose row by hand, dowel is to big in this case.

Move comb & weights on pattern RC 4,8 &12 by forking all sts back into the hooks and bring all needles (with sts in hooks) to FWP. Remove the weights and combs. Hold the comb with hooks down between the needles then fold over the sts and rehang the weight. Push needles back.

Tuck Pattern:
Hold the yellow card under the carriage (even with the wire guide carriage) and push the work back as you knit across. No dropped sts this way. EXCEPTION is the first row after rehanging the comb and weights.

COR fork all sts into hooks then select needles from the chart counting the needles buts. Less confusion this way. The diamond section needles will have 2 tucks on them, the column needle will only have 1.

COL the first needle is the single tuck in the column, fork it back and pull the needles beside to HP. Skip the diamond needles (only one needle at the beg of the pattern) and work the next column sts.

I did the Bind off with an I hook. Could probably go down to an H or take out a chain, but I kinda like the ruffly look and it will stretch to fit large bodies.
