More Texture with the Basketweave Stitch

7/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Another highly textured pattern can be created with some slipped stitches. It gives a lovely basket weave effect on one side and a slight honeycomb diamond pattern on the reverse.
The pattern is worked over 8 rows. I found it courtesy of knitca.com where it doesn't have a name so I've called it the Basketweave Stitch
The trick with this one is to be very loose when carrying the yarn behind or in front with the 3 slipped stitches.

Row 1 (right side): *p2, k1*, to last 2 sts, p2.
Row 2 (wrong side): *k2, p1*, to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 3 (right side): p1, *sl 3 wyif, p1, k1, p1*, to last 4 sts, sl 3 wyif, p1.
Row 4 (wrong side): k1, sl 3 wyib, *k1, p1, k1, sl 3 wyib*, to last st, k1.
Row 5 (right side): *p2, k1*, to last 2 sts, p2.
Row 6 (wrong side): *k2, p1*, to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 7 (right side): p1, *p1, k1, p1, sl 3 wyif*, to last 4 sts, p1, k1, p2.
Row 8 (wrong side): k2, p1, k1, *sl 3 wyib, k1, p1, k1*, to last st, k1.
