Rows 1 -42 form the pattern. Repeat for the desired length, the original pattern then says to repeat row 1, knit one row plain (all knit stitch), and cast off. I would recommend replacing row 42 with a row of plain knitting and cast off to avoid beginning another repeat of the stitch pattern.

The original pattern recommends working a total of 13 repeats but since it does not state the needle size or gauge you may need to change the number of repeats to suit your yarn and project.

Charted
