We love this stitch! 🙂 How about you?

The texture is emphasized when knit with our petite wool, it would be perfect for a cozy scarf.

  1. I do not have instagram or twitter – I did give this stitch a try. What a fun texture. Will put a picture on blog – and link back to your pattern.

    I cannot help wonder if it would make a nice dishcloth ….

    thanks!

  2. This is a beautiful stitch. How many stitches would I have to cast on to make a scarf approximately 6 inches wide? And how many balls of yarn would I need for a scarf approx 6 inches wide and 5-6 feet long?
    Thanks.
    PS. I’m very pleased with the Dragonfly blanket kit and the pretty aquamarine cotton yarn. I’m looking forward to trying it out.

    1. Hi!

      To answer your question, we’ll need the following information:
      -What type of yarn you’re using
      -What size needles you’re using
      -What your gauge is

      Thank you!!

  3. Ever since I saw your wool & got on your email list I have gotten more interested in knitting, crocheting again 🙂 the only downfall I have is money & carpal tunnel syndrome 🙁 so when I have my surgery I will recooperate & get back into it. I can’t wait to do this stitch! I also love the color. Thanks for all that you do for your fellow knitters! 🙂

    1. Hi Lisa!
