With No. 5 dp needles,cast on 12 sts.Distribute them evenly on the three needles. First rnd knit. 2nd rnd:*yo,k1,rep from * to end(24 sts).Note:Throughout pattern, each yo counts as 1 stitch. 3rd and 4th rnds:As 1st and 2nd rounds(48sts) 5th,6th,and7th rnds:Knit. 8th rnd:*yo,k2,rep from *to end(72sts) 9th,10th,11th rnds:knit 12th rnd:*yo,k3,repeat from *to end(96sts).
