Honeycomb Tweed

Sample knit with Patons Grace Cotton Yarn on US Size 6 needles

A pretty two color stitch that is easy to do.  You needn't be too worried about having to carry the non working yarn up the side, since you are only doing two rows with each color.  When you are ready to change colors, simply pick up the color you need and drop the other.  I like to wrap the non working yarn around a finger on my right hand to keep some tension on the first stitch of the color change row.  

With Color A, cast on an Odd number of stitches.

Row 1: (RS) With Color B, K1 *Sl 1 wyib, K1*

Row 2: Purl

Row 3: With Color A, K2 *Sl 1 wyib, K1* Knit last two stitches

Row 4: Purl

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Bell Rib Cable

Sample knit with Patons Classic Wool  on US Size  9 (the yarn was dyed by me, you won't find this color in the store)

If you like cables and ribbing, then this stitch is for you.  This stitch makes the fabric pull inward so much that the pattern can't be seen well.  This stitch is best knit with a natural fiber yarn, such as wool, and then blocked to open up the pattern.

Cast on a multiple of 4 + 2

Rows 1, 3, and 5 (WS): P2 *K2, P2*

Rows 2 and 4: K2 *P2, K2*

Row 6: K1 *Sl next stitch to cable or dpn and hold in front, P1.  Skip the next stitch on the left needle, and knit into the second stitch, passing it over the skipped stitch.  Knit the stitch on the cable or dpn.  Purl the skipped stitch* K1

Rows 7, 9, and 11: K2 *P2, K2*

Rows 8 and 10: P2 *K2, P2*

Row 12: K1, Skip next stitch, Knit second stitch and pass it over the skipped stitch, Purl skipped stitch.  Now, repeat from * in Row 6.  End this row (last three stitches) : Sl 1 to cable or dpn and hold in front, P1, K1 from cable or dpn, K1

Repeat these twelve rows for the pattern.

Double Mock Rib

Sample knit with Butterfly Cotton on US Size 6 needles

This is the back of the fabric

This is a really simple, easy to remember pattern.  I would consider this a 'reversible' stitch, because the back of the fabric looks very nice.

Row 1: (WS)  K2 *P2, K2*
Row 2: P2 *With yarn in front, Slip 2 purlwise, P2*
