As I said, I am catching up with the weekly swatches today and now it's time for the second swatch post of the day.
Next up is a stitch, I have really enjoyed preparing, the Sheaf Knit Stitch.
K2 / P2 ribbing forms the foundation of this stitch motif; and the texture is achieved by wrapping the working yarn around two stitches on every fourth row.
Sheaf Knit Stitch
Multiple of 8 plus 2 stitches
Row 1 (wrong side) : K2, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 2 (right side): P2, *k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
Row 3: K2, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 4: P2, *insert right-hand needle from front of work between next 6th and 7th live stitch on left-hand needle and draw through a loop from the back of your work (as if performing a cable cast-on). Slip this loop onto to left-hand-needle. This will be the first live stitch on the left-hand needle. Knit the cast on stitch together with the next stitch (k2tog) ; k1, p2, k2, p2; rep. from * to end
Row 5: K2, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 5: K2, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 6: P2, *k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
Row 7: K2, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 8: P2, k2, p2, *insert right-hand needle from front of work between next 6th and 7th live stitch on left-hand needle and draw through a loop from the back of your work (as if performing a cable cast-on). Slip this loop onto to left-hand-needle. This will now be the first live stitch on the left-hand needle. Knit the cast on stitch together with the next stitch (k2tog); k1, p2, k2, p2; rep. from * to last 4 stitches, k2, p2.
