July 2024 Stitch of the Month Knit
Pique Rib Stitch
Front
Back
multiples 3 + 2
For sample cast on 20 ( 3 x 6 = 18 + 2 = 20)
row 1: * k 2, p 1 * end k 2
Row 2: * p 2, k 1 * end p 2
Row 3: * k 2, p 1 * end k 2
Row 4: knit
repeat these 4 rows for pattern until desired length or
until almost square.
Then rows 1 to 3 once and bind off purlwise.
This pattern is for knitters that
are learning to do cables. It's a simple pattern with three main rows that are
repeated to get the cable. I have found that a U shaped cable needle works
best, less likely the stitches will fall off the cable needle. I have also found
it much easier to follow the pattern, if you use stitch markers between groups of stitch patterns. It is also helpful
if when counting rows, you count only the pattern rows as you work, that way
you will know at row 6, you will need to do the cable to the back, and you will
always know where you are in the pattern. 
Heather Lavender Hat 2026 update
Heather Heather's hat update June 28th 2026
Picture below shows how long it's gotten and I have started the decrease rounds but I really don't like the variegated yarn I picked out because you just can't see the pattering on the first couple of rows.
I started a new ski hat for my niece Heather, she loves hats. I will be posting as I work this . The ribbing is a new ribbing I made up using different stitches just because I liked them. Below is a picture of the start of it, and I made a chart also. The chart part does not show up well here. I will be changing colors in the next one I make for this pattern
When I mail out Christmas cards, I like to add a little gift with each one, below are what I am sending out this year. These make nice little ornaments for the tree. The globe ornament is another set from the same company. I purchased the set from here:
