The Swag Knit Stitch is a simple beginner knit stitch. Horizontal bars are incorporated against a background of stockinette stitch, adding an eye catching effect to the finished piece.
The bar effect is created by slipping stitches with the yarn in front of the work (wyif) on rows 4 and 6 of the pattern. The remaining rows are a mixture of knit and purl only.
This knit stitch requires a multiple of 5 plus 4 stitches and is worked over 6 rows.
