Method
Using contrast colour cast on a number of sts divisible by 6+1. Change to main colour and continue as follows.
1st row: K3, (Sl 1, K6) rep to last 3 sts, K3
Rep this row 7 times more, making sure to keep the yarn on the wrong side of the work when you slip the sts.
Continue in your desired colour and st.
Note:
If you are going to continue knitting plain garter or st st, and not a mosaic or fair-isle st that pulls the knitting in slightly, you will need to change to a size smaller needles, or dec 1 in every 12 sts to stop the knitting flaring.
