Cyprus Edging

Top sample knit with silk lace weight; bottom knit with merino wool DK weight - both on US size 7 needles

Note: When slipping the first stitch on odd rows, hold the yarn in front of work and slip stitch purlwise.

Even though this is a 'lace' edging, don't be afraid to try it in weights other than lace.

Cast on 12 stitches

Setup - Knit 1 row plain

Row 1: sl, k5, k2tog, yo, k1, k2tog, k1

Row 2: k4, yo, k2tog, k2, yo, k2tog, k1

Row 3: sl, k3, k2tog, yo, k1, k2tog, k2
