  1st row: establish K2, P2 ribbing.
  Repeat for the length of the bottle neck (usually about 7cm).

  1st pattern row: Knit increasing 4 stitches evenly across each needle.
  2nd row: (mock cable - Leave 1st stitch on the needle, knit second stitch, then knit 1st stitch and slip both off at the same time,) P3, Cable 3 (slip 3 stitches onto cable needle and hold at back, K3, K3 cable stitches), P3. Repeat for each needle.
  3rd row: K2, P3, K6, P3 to end
  4th & 5th row: same as 3rd row
  6th row: Mock cable, P3, K6, P3
  7th & 8th & 9th row: same as 3rd row

  rows 2 through 10 form the pattern repeat.
  Continue until your work measures 1cm from the bottom of the bottle.
  K to end
  Next row: decrease one stitch at each end of each needle
  Repeat these 2 rows until you have 4 stitches per needle. Leaving a tail of about 15cm, cut your wool and thread it through a wool/tapestry needle and pick up each on of the stitches and pull firmly. Secure the tail and weave the end back into the knitting and there you have it.
