Knitting technique.
Rubber: knit alternately knit, 1 purl.

Edge stitches: slip the 1st stitch of each row as a knit stitch, knit the last loop of each row as a knit stitch.

Pattern of "cones" (for 15 loops): knit according to pattern A. The numbers on the right refer to the front rows. In purl rows, knit according to the pattern (or as described in the legend). Knit rows 1–20 once, then repeat row 20.

Floral pattern (for 15 loops): knit according to pattern B. The numbers on the right refer to the front rows. In purl rows, knit according to the pattern (or as described in the legend). In the 15th–19th rows under the embroidered flower in the front rows, knit only purl loops, in the purl rows - only front ones. Knit rows 1–20 once, then repeat row 20.
Note: 21–24th rows = beginning of the 2nd repeat in height.

Openwork pattern (for 4 loops): knit according to pattern C. The numbers on the right refer to the front rows, on the left - to the purl rows. Knit rows 1–4 once, then repeat rows 3 and 4. For clarity, the diagram shows 2 repeats in height.

Purl stitch: front rows - purl loops, purl rows - front loops.

Flower embroidery: embroider according to patterns (see also pattern B) using chain stitch and French knot.

Chain stitch (see diagrams 1–3): make the first small stitch. Bring the needle through the fabric to the desired stitch length to the right of the first stitch, pass the needle under the first stitch between the thread and the fabric, insert the needle into the same point from which you just brought it out. Bring the needle through the fabric at a distance of 3 mm from the previous stitch, pass the needle under the previous stitch, insert the needle into the same point from which you just brought it out.

French knot: bring the needle to the front side of the work. Wrap the thread quite tightly around the needle several times and then reinsert the needle onto the wrong side, holding the needle and threads at the insertion site to create a knot.

Knitting density, pattern of “bumps” with knitting needles No. 4.5: 18 loops and 23 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
