Crossed Stitch

Crossed Stitch Cloth - Pattern below

For Crossed Stitch, work with an even number of stitches, plus 1 more on each side for the selvage.   This is a two row repeat that is easy to remember.  Depending on what you are making, the number of edge stitches can be adjusted to fit your project.

Row 1: Knit 1 (selvage) *Slip 1 with yarn in back, Knit 1, Yarn Over, Pass the Slipped Stitch over both the Knit Stitch and the Yarn Over*  Repeat to last stich, Knit 1 (selvage)

Row 2: Purl all stitches

Repeat these two rows for pattern

Yes, there is a video also.  Very brief, just showing how to do Row 1 of the pattern since I assume you don't want to watch me purl the second row :0)

You can make the cloth wider by adding more stitches, just be sure you have an even number.  The cloth can be made longer by repeating Rows 3 and 4 as many times as you like before finishing.  I strive to be error free before posting something to the public, but sometimes that doesn't happen.  If you find a mistake, feel free to leave me a comment so I can check it out.

This cloth is my own design.  You are free to use the pattern to knit cloths for yourself and friends/family; if you would like to share the pattern with others via your own blog, please link back to me.
