Then work in pattern as follows:
Row 1 (RS): k4, 2×2 left cross, *(p2, yo, left decrease) – 2 times, p2, 4×4 right cross, 4×4 left cross, repeat from * 2 times, (p2, yo, left decrease) – 2 times, p2, 2×2 left cross, k4.
Row 2 and all WS rows: k4, p4, *(k2, p2) – 2 times, k2, p16, repeat from * 2 times, (k2, p2) – 2 times, k2, p4, k4.
