From "A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns," by Barbara Walker, page 341

**Make sure that your dropped stitches reach all the way to the cast on. A slingshot/long tail cast on is best for this, as the stitches drop all the way; knitted cast ons retain the "chain" from the cast on, creating an obvious "non-dropped" stitch on the edge.

Rows 1 & 2 are repeated a total of 10 times here, but you can repeat them for however long you'd like--the more repeats, the longer the dropped stitch section will be; the fewer repeats, the shorter it will be.

When you finish the last row, you can either bind off, or continue working.
