Depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to consider adding a few extra stitches for a border to neaten up the edges, and make it easier to work the sl 1-k1-yo-psso at the beginning and end of Rows 1 and 3.
Slipped stitches are slipped purlwise. Pattern begins on right side.
Multiple of 2
Rows 1 and 3: *sl 1, k1, yo, psso both the k1 and yo
Rows 2, 4 and 6: purl all stitches
Row 5: knit all stitches
Repeat these six rows for the pattern.
