A fun stitch that creates cable clusters, which are connected via elongated stitches. The long stitches are created by wrapping the yarn round the needle twice. The extra loops are dropped before the cable is worked on the following row.

The Weekly Swatch: Scale Lace Knit Stitch
Scale Lace Knit Stitch |
I have been neglecting my weekly swatch activity at the onset of 2020 and, counting from the beginning of January, I didn't post any swatches for over four months. I am now trying to catch-up with my (not so) weekly swatch posts and in an attempt to rectify this situation, I have prepared another lace stitch for this week: the Scale Lace Knit Stitch.
This is another easy lace stitch and the finished swatch, which is knitted with Rowan Bamboo Soft, suggests that this could be the perfect stitch motif for a drapey cowl or a wide stole.

The Weekly Swatch: Feather and Fan Lace Knit Stitch
Feather and Fan Lace Knit Stitch |
After knitting up a few swatches in Scallop Lace Knit Stitch for last week's Weekly Swatch, it felt fitting to follow-up with another classic lace stitch: the Feather and Fan knit stitch. Somehow, I always think of these stitches as being related to one another, with the Feather and Fan Stitch building upon and extending the stitch motif of the Scallop Stitch.

The Weekly Swatch: Diamond Rib Knit Stitch
Against a background of reverse stockinette stitch, the Diamond Rib stitch creates vertical columns featuring framed, diamond-shaped motifs. The stitch requires multiples of nine plus two stitches and is worked over eight rows. Due to the intricate details of the stitch motif, it's probably best suited to lace-weight and sock yarns.

The Weekly Swatch: Pucker Cable Knit Stitch
This week I have prepared swatches showcasing the Pucker Cable Stitch. Despite its name, to knit the pattern you will not require a cable needle. The delicate texture is achieved through simple in- and decreases, the remainder of the stitches are either knitted or purled.
This uncomplicated stitch works well with all types of yarns, even fuzzier, fingering-weight Mohair blends, as can be seen in the pictures below.

The Weekly Swatch: Diamond Trellis and Garter Triangle Stitch
The Diamond Trellis and Garter Triangle Stitch
For this week's stitch, I have been knitting up two swatches, one for the Diamond Trellis stitch and for one of its (many!) variations, featuring a garter stitch effect in the upper part of the diamond motif.
Both require a multiple of ten plus three stitches and repeats are worked over sixteen rows.

The Weekly Swatch: Waterfall Lace Knit Stitch Pattern
The Waterfall Lace Knit Stitch
For this week's stitch, I have been knitting up two swatches in the so-called Waterfall lace pattern.
This stitch motif requires a multiple of six plus three stitches and repeats are worked over six rows.
An uncomplicated stitch, which you will be able to remember after a few pattern repeats, this pattern creates vertical columns and the positioning of the yo-increases results in the effect of cascading water. This stitch is ideal for throws, blankets and scarfs.
