Daisy Stitch Variation

 

Above knit with worsted weight on US 8 needles

Above knit with lace weight on US 7 needles

Multiple of 6 + 3

Row 1 (RS): k2 * knit 5, wrapping each stitch 3 times, k1; end k1

Row 2: k2 * wyif slip next 5 sts to right needle, dropping extra wraps; (take yarn to back and slip same 5 sts to left needle; wrap yarn around same 5 sts  to bring it back to front of work and slip sts to right needle) twice; k1; end k1

Row 3: knit all sts

Row 4: knit all sts

Row 5: k5 * knit 5, wrapping each stitch 3 times, k1; end k4

Row 6: k5 *  wyif slip next 5 sts to right needle, dropping extra wraps; (take yarn to back and slip same 5 sts to left needle; wrap yarn around same 5 sts  to bring it back to front of work and slip sts to right needle) twice; k1; end k4

Row 7: knit all sts

Row 8: knit all sts

Repeat these 8 Rows for the pattern.

In Rows 2 and 6, rather than moving the 5 stitches back and forth between needles, the following will achieve the same results:

wyif, slip next 5 sts to cable needle, dropping extra wraps; wrap yarn around the 5 sts on the cable needle twice, then slip sts from cable needle to right needle
