| Sample knit with Royal Bamboo from Plymouth Yarn on US Size 7 square needles |
This weeks stitch pattern is short, sweet and to the point. This would make a great spring or summer scarf, or even a shawl or wrap, maybe a beach coverup.
The pattern suggests an extra stitch on each edge for "continuity". My sample was knit with the suggested extra stitch on each edge; the edges were very sloppy for my taste. Depending on what you are knitting, you will probably want to add a more substantial border.
Abbreviations:
YO = Yarn over
K-wise = Insert right needle into next stitch as if to knit, but don't work the stitch, just slip off left needle
PSSO = Pass the slipped stitch over the one just knit
Cast on any even number (plus desired number of edge stitches, which are not included in the instructions below)
*YO, Slip 1 K-wise, K1, PSSO*
That's it. You will repeat this for both sides of the fabric.
And here is the video. Happy Knitting and Enjoy!

Yeah - I have just found the ideal gift to send to an overseas friend - a summer scarf in this stitch- maybe with a small border, maybe not. I'll try both.
Thanks.
P.S. I love to watch your samples - you hold the yarn the way I do, which I find is fairly rare.
thanks - drora.
Thank you for the video & insight! How would you translate this pattern to knit it in the round on circular needles?
