January 2014 Stitch of the Month Knit
I didn't like at all the way the stitch turned out using the directions. So I did it my way, and have
re-wrote the directions, and I like the stitch much better. In order to get
your sample to look like mine, follow the directions to the core.
multiples of 5 + 2
Row 1: P2, * keeping the
yarn in front of work, slip 1 purl wise, then taking the yarn over the needle,
(hold your figure on the yo) K2 together (pic 1) , pass the
slipped stitch over the yarn over and the 2 knitted tog (see pic
2), yarn over twice, P2, repeat from *
across row. Your stitch should look like pic 3.
