Right Side |
Work with a multiple of 2 stitches, plus 2
Row 1: Purl all stitches (Wrong side)
Row 2: Knit 1 *YO, K 2, Pass the YO over the two stitches just knit* Repeat from * to last stitch, K 1
Repeat these two rows for pattern.
As I always say, don't forget to check out the back of your fabric. I happen to love the knubby texture on the back of this fabric. If I made a scarf or dish cloth using this stitch, I would consider it reversible because I like the appearance of the wrong side. But to each his (or her) own! Here is what the back side looks like:

Hi again, I may be wrong, but isn't this stitch the same as the bamboo stitch? o.o
This was asked on the video as well. Here is the answer:
Yes, this is basically the same thing, except the bamboo stitch pattern I have has the purl row as the 2nd row, and the '+2' is omitted from the stitch number.
Oh, I see :) Thank you for the clarification :)
I loved how this looked. Would this look nice for a baby blanket as well? How would you recommend I do the edges if I try this?
If you like the stitch, then you can use it for anything you want, even a baby blanket. You can do a garter stitch border, or seed stitch might be nice. Seed Stitch is the border I usually go for. I have a video on that coming soon, and I already have one up for garter stitch border. I'd love to see your blanket when it is done!
