Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using the midnight blue yarn. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Knit the Base: Work in stockinette stitch for 10 rows. This means you will knit one row and then purl the next row, repeating this pattern until you have completed 10 rows.
3. Switch to Silver Yarn: Change to silver yarn and knit 2 rows in garter stitch. For garter stitch, simply knit every row.
4. Return to Midnight Blue Yarn: Switch back to the midnight blue yarn and continue knitting in stockinette stitch for 20 rows.
5. Begin Star Motif:
   • Row 1: K5, *k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k5*; repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   Repeat these 2 rows for a total of 12 rows to create the star motif.
6. Switch to White Yarn: Change to white yarn and knit 2 rows in garter stitch.
7. Return to Midnight Blue Yarn: Switch back to the midnight blue yarn and knit in stockinette stitch for 10 more rows.
8. Bind Off: Once you have completed all rows, bind off all stitches to finish your piece.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish. Block the piece to measurements to achieve the desired shape and size.
10. Repeat: Follow the same steps to create the second armrest cover.
