And this is how it's done:
CLOTH:
The cloth has an asymmetric shape and it is knitted according to diagram. Decreases are being worked on one side and increases are being worked on the other side.
Cast 15 stitches on circular needle No. 4, 5 with natural. Knit according to A.1 - see start arrow. Knit STRIPES - see above. At the end of the 7th row make 15 new stitches = 30 stitches. Repeat A.1 continuously at height, making 15 new stitches at the end of each 6th row. At the beginning of the fiftieth row, bind off the first 15 stitches, and then chop it off in each 54th row as described under STRIPES. Continue working in the pattern as shown in A.1 with the increases and decreases until the strips of natural and raspberry were finished - it was now chained 3 times on one side and 27 x on the other side increased (= stitched) = 375 stitches on the needle. Continue knitting without any increases or decreases until all stripes are finished. Then bind off all stitches.
