After the Two-Colour Balloon Knit Stitch in my last post, this post showcases the Three-Colour Balloon Knit Stitch.
Having more fun with simple colourwork, next up we have the Two-Colour Balloon Knit Stitch. This stitch requires a multiple of 8 plus 4 stitches and is worked over a total of 16 rows. All stitches are slipped as if to purl.
The texture of the shell clusters is created by knitting four stitches together twice (once through the backloop) for each shell on the seventh row of the pattern before the final knit row.
To perform the k4tog tbl and k4tog without too much frustration, stitches should be knitted loosely.
Today's weekly swatch is the Looped Knit Stitch. It's a simple four-row-repeat knit stitch, which is worked on a multiple of four plus one stitches.
The mock cable wrap effect is created by working a cable cast-on between stitches on the right side rows. On the wrong side rows the cast-on stitches are purled together with the preceding stitch.
Carrying on with shell motifs, here we have the simple Shell Lace Knit Stitch. It's a fun, versatile stitch, that can be memorised easily after a few repeats.
If you are considering incorporating this stitch motif into a project, please bear in mind that this stitch has a tendency to slant, especially when worked over a larger area.
For this shell stitch, all wrong side rows are purled throughout and the stitch motif is created with yarn over increases and psso (pass slipped stitch over) decreases on the right side rows.
The stitch requires a multiple of 7 plus 2 stitches and is knitted over 12 rows.
Some ten years ago, I featured the left-slanting Turkish Rib Stitch in a weekly swatch. Today, I am finally following up with the stitch pattern for the right-slanting Turkish Rib Stitch.
The Turkish Rib Stitch creates a rich diagonal rib texture and, depending how stretched the fabric is, almost gives the impression of lace openwork. The stitch requires a multiple of two plus two stitches and is knitted over four rows, excluding the set-up row.
