Row 9: as row 5
Row 10: as row 6
Row 11: BO 3 sts knitwise, k to end of row
Row 12: BO 3 sts purlwise, p to last 2 sts, knit these last 2 sts together = 15 sts.
Row 13: slip 1 st purlwise, k to last 2 sts, knit these last 2 sts together = 14 sts
Row 14: slip 1 st purlwise, p to last 2 sts, knit these last 2 sts together. = 13 sts

Row 20: p7, k1
Row 21: p1, k to end
Row 22: p7, k1
Row 23: p1, k to end
Row 24: p7, k1
Row 25: slip 1 st purlwise, k1, M1, k4, M1, k2 = 10 sts
Row 26: slip 1 st purlwise, p 8, k1
Row 27: slip 1 st purlwise, k1, M1, k6, M1, k2 = 12 sts
Row 28: slip 1 st purlwise, p 10, k1
Row 29: slip 1 st purlwise, k1, M1, k8, M1, k2 = 14 sts
Row 30: slip 1 st purlwise, p 12, k1
Row 31: slip 1 st purlwise, k1, M1, k10, M1, k2 = 16 sts
Row 32: slip 1 st purlwise, p 14, k1, LC3 = 19 sts
Row 33: k19, LC 3 sts = 22 sts
Row 34: p21, k1
Row 35: p1, k to end
Row 36: p21, k1
Row 37: p1, k to end
Row 38: p21, k1
Row 39: with the circular smaller size needle k 22, then pick up 22 sts from the top of back part, place a marker (or mark with with a different color yarn that this is the beginning of a new round)
When you close to round pull yarn very tight so you will not have a loose stitch. The marker indicates the beginning or end of the round. Continue with Round 1-7:
Round 1 – 7: *k1, p1* repeat from *to*
Round 8: bind off all stitches loosely as they appear (which means you will knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches and bind off at the same time).
Cut yarn and pull end through the loop. When you weave in this yarn end go back and forth to disguise the end of the round.
FINISHING:
- Right side outside close the sides with mattress stitch
- Weave in ends.

WRAPS: You can watch how to work the wraps in this video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCO-eLqBngU&feature=related
Or follow the instructions for
Row 3: (= a knit row) bring the yarn to front, slip next stitch knitwise, bring yarn back to back of work, then slip stitch from right hand needle to left hand needle, slip this stitch from tip to tip, turn
Row 4: (= a purl row) bring yarn to back, slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn to front and slip stitch back to left hand needle, slip this stitch from tip to tip, turn
Row 5: pick up the wrap which is around the next stitch knitwise and lift it over the stitch, bring it behind the stitch. Now knit both loops together from behind (pattern ends with k2)
Row 6: pick up the wrap from the knitted side, this means you have to turn your work that way that you are looking at the knitted side. Then pick up the wrap which is around the next stitch from underneath and slip it over the stitch, now purl both loops together (pattern ends with p1, k1)
