Threaded Ribbon Stitch

Sample knit with Caron Simply Soft, US Size 9 Needles

This is a great "mindless knitting" stitch, good for TV watching.  Not much to think about, and if you make a mistake, it is easy to spot and fix.

One thing I noticed about this stitch is that it has a bit of a wave to it.  Blocking should help flatten it out some, or you could let the fabric go as is if it doesn't bother you.

Row 1: K1 *P5, K1*

Row 2: P1 *K5, P1*

Repeat Rows 1-2 twice more

Row 7: P1 *K5, P1*

Row 8: K1 *P5, K1*

Repeat Rows 7-8 twice more

Repeat these 12 rows for the pattern
