How to knit a web in the round with modified cat's eye net stitch

This modified Cat's Eye Net stitch is a 3-row pattern repeat to make a net or web-like fabric. The standard Cat’s Eye’s Net stitches are knitted back and forth. The modification is to knit in a round with magic loop. The finished fabric can be stretched out in either direction. It creates an open net pattern and we will use this stitch to make a market bag in the separate post.
