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.
