herringbone stitch and the one I can't remember

the herringbone stitch

row 1

cast on as many stitches as you need
 

knit 1

slip 1 purl wise

knit 1

yo

pass the slipped stitch over both stitches

all the way across

k1

row 2

purl two together but don't remove the stitches

purl once again into the first stitch on the needle

slip the stitches off

do this all the way across



that's it

that's all there is to the

herringbone stitch

simple

easy

so effective for so little effort

don't you think!!!

and the one I can't remember!!!

I was trying to remember how to do a stitch

 that I can't find anywhere

I couldn't remember the right combination

and I came up with this

it's sort of like a lover's knot

but not quite

cast on an uneven count

knit 1

yo

knit 2 together

yo

k2tog

 

that's it

over and over

 

 

it's the same for all rows until you have it as long as you want it

I had a thought, if you wrap the yarn over twice, you'll have a bigger hole/space

and if you use thin yarn and big needles.....

 :0

!!!

 

many combinations for a stitch that came out of nowhere

 

:)

the end

enjoy!!!
