Colored Seeds

Sample knit with worsted weight silk on US size 9 needles

Multiple of 4 + 3

Rows 1 and 2: With color A - p1 *k1, p1
Row 3: With color B - p1, k1, p1 *sl 1 wyib, p1, k1, p1
Row 4: With color B - p1, k1, p1 *sl 1 wyif, p1, k1, b1

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

I cast on with color A, and for my bind off edge, I worked Rows 1 and 2 once more because I thought it looked better than binding off after Row 4. You can use color B to cast on/bind off if you like.

Happy Knitting!

Raindrop Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn on US size 8 needles

This stitch makes a subtle texture on stocking stitch.  You may want to consider a border all around to help the fabric lay flat, depending on how you plan to use the stitch.

And yes, I made a mistake in the video.  On the last row near the end, I forgot to slip the new stitch to the left needle to knit it again - sorry!

Multiple of 4 + 1

Rows 1 and 3 (WS): purl

Row 2: k1 *knit into next stitch in the row below, but don't drop original stitch from needle; slip new stitch back to left needle and knit it again, knit original stitch, then pass the new stitch over the stitch just knit, k3

Row 4: k3 *knit into next stitch in the row below, but don't drop original stitch from needle; slip new stitch back to left needle and knit it again, knit original stitch, then pass the new stitch over the stitch just knit, k3; repeat from *, end k1

Happy Knitting!
