It only uses knit and purls and you can adapt this stitch pattern to pretty much anything. I used a 10.5 needle and casted on 24. It call for a multiple of 6 stitches. The book below is where I got the stitch pattern.

“Knit the Knits and Purl the Purls”:
That means if you see a knit stitch in front of you then knit it. If
you see a purl stitch in front of you do a purl stitch. You're
basically reversing the instructions from the previous row.

For rows 2, 4, 6, etc. you've written "knit the knits and purl the purls." Does that mean repeat row 1?
For even rows you will be doing the opposite of what you did on the previous row. So when you start an even row if that first stitch looks like a knit stitch (which looks like a "V")then you will do a knit stitch. If you see a purl stitch in front of you then you will do a purl.Hope that helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks! Heather
