The Weekly Swatch: Leaf Edging

 

Leaf Edging Edge Knitting Pattern



New Year, new weekly swatch. 

For this post, I have prepared a simple leaf edging (and tested a new skein of Araucania Botany Lace sock yarn). The edging requires a multiple of 8 stitches. As a result of in- and decreases, the stitch count will vary when knitting this edging.

  1. Very pretty, thanks for sharing. I find charts super slow & clunky, because the symbol's meanings don't seem to want to stay in my head
