Divide the stitches on 3 needles. Join and work around; knit 1, purl 1 and repeat for 50 rows.
Use the coarser needles and knit 10 rows. On last row knit to within 4 stitches; turn and work with needle with the 4 stitches on. Knit to within 4 stitches on the row (8 from turning). Turn again and knit to within 7 stitches on the row; turn and knit back, and forth, leaving 3 stitches on the needle for each turning. Repeat until there are 36 stitches left in center.
Now reverse. Knit (instead of leave) 3 more stitches for each turning and on the 2 last rows 4 stitches for each turning.
