Reversed Cross Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn, US 8 needles

Depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to add at least two extra stitches to the multiple (one edge stitch for the beginning and end of each row) to make working Rows 1 and 3 easier.  I have added the edge stitches in my sample above as shown in the video, however there are no edge stitches represented in the instructions below.

When slipping, slip purlwise

Multiple of 2

Row 1 (rs): *sl 1 wyib, k1, yo, psso both the knit stitch and yo

Row 2: purl

Row 3: k1 *sl 1 wyib, k1, yo, psso both the knit stitch and yo; rep from *, end k1

Row 4: purl

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.
