Knotted Open Work was a requested stitch, and when I was looking through my stitch books to see if it was known by another name, I found Open Star Stitch.  They are almost identical, except that Open Star Stitch is more knotty and textured.  

Both are worked on a multiple of 3 stitches, plus 3

Open Star Stitch:

Row 1: (Wrong Side) K2, *YO, K3 - then pass the first stitch over the second and third sts*  Repeat from * to last stitch, K1

Row 2: Knit all stitches

Row 3: K1, *K3 - then pass the first stitch over the second and third sts, YO* Repeat from * to last two stitches, K2

Row 4: Knit all stitches

Repeat these 4 Rows for pattern
