After a long period of silence caused by a sudden influx of kittens (images to be posted shortly), I'm finally back to updating the blog with fresh content.
I'm starting off today with a new addition to the stitch library, the Cell Knit Stitch.
This simple, textured stitch is created through a combination of knit and purl stitches. The stitch itself is worked over four rows and the mock cable effect is achieved by casting on additional stitches on the right side rows. Simple p2tog decreases are worked on the wrong side rows.
Cell Knit Stitch Pattern
Multiple of 2 plus 1 stitches
Row 1: K1, *insert right hand needle between 1st and 2nd stitch on left hand needle and draw loop through, as if performing a cable cast-on. Place stitch on to right hand needle. K 2 stitches. Repeat from * to end.
Row 2: *P1, p2tog; repeat from * to last stitch, p1.
Row 3: K2, *insert right hand needle between 1st and 2nd stitch on left hand needle and draw loop through, as if performing a cable cast-on. Place stitch on to right hand needle. K 2 stitches. Repeat from * to last stitch, k1.
Row 4: P2, *p1, p2tog; repeat from * to last stitch, p1.
Repeat rows 1 and 4 for pattern.
