Pattern repeat is a multiple of 18 (i.e. 36, 54, 72, etc.), plus 4 stitches for border.
Cast on 94 sts.
Rows 1-6: K 92, then work border as follows: bring yarn to the front as if to purl (YF), then slip last 2 stitches as if to purl.
PATTERN:
Row 1: K2, K2tog 3 times, *(YF, K1) 6 times, (K2tog)6 times, repeat from * until 8 stitches remain, then K2tog 3 times, last 2 stitches: border as above.
Row 2: K to last 2 stitches, YF then slip last 2 stitches as if to purl.
Row 3: same as row 2
Row 4: K 2, P to last 2 stitches, YF then slip last 2 stitches as if to purl.
Repeat rows 1-4 until almost desired length. Then do row 1 of pattern, 5 rows of Garter Stitch (K every row, continuing border), then bind off and get cozy.
Your pattern is 24 stitches. Just repeat the pattern twice and you haver48 stitches. Wait until someone else checks this out. I could be wrong, but that is the way it appears to me.
