This border must be knit in pieces just fitting each point. Cast on eight stitches. In the first and every alternate row, three stitches must be knit together at the back, in the middle of the row.

1st row: Slip one, * TB, drop the next foundation stitch off the needle, throw your thread over twice, repeat from * to the end of the row, knitting the last stitch, and not forgetting the narrowing in the middle.

2nd row: Knit plain, always putting your needle in at the back of the second made stitch.
