• The braid consists of 4 crossed loops (8 in total) and 3 loops on each side to give the pattern volume.
• In the first row, having knitted the braid rapport, we begin to knit a triangle for the bottom with 1 front stitch and a yarn over.
• Even rows strictly according to the pattern.
• From the 3rd row onwards, after the braid rapport, knit as usual, 1 front with a yarn over and then the loops added in the previous rows.
