Little Arrowhead Lace

Sample knit with Patons Angora Bamboo on US  8 needles

The edges of this stitch are really sloppy.  You will probably want to add some extra stitches to neaten up the edges of your fabric.  I would also recommend blocking your finished item to open up the stitch pattern.

Pattern Note:

On Row 4, Slip the next two stitches together as if to knit, then you will Knit 1, and then pass the two slipped stitches together over the knit stitch 

Cast on a multiple of 6 + 1

Rows 1 and 3: Purl all stitches

Row 2: K1 *YO, SSK, K1, K2tog, YO, K1*

Row 4: K2 *YO, Sl2 Kwise, K1, P2SSO, YO, K3* End last repeat with K2

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Turkish Stitch

Sample knit with Royal Bamboo from Plymouth Yarn on US Size 7 square needles

This weeks stitch pattern is short, sweet and to the point.  This would make a great spring or summer scarf, or even a shawl or wrap, maybe a beach coverup. 

The pattern suggests an extra stitch on each edge for "continuity".  My sample was knit with the suggested extra stitch on each edge; the edges were very sloppy for my taste.  Depending on what you are knitting, you will probably want to add a more substantial border. 

Abbreviations:

YO = Yarn over

K-wise = Insert right needle into next stitch as if to knit, but don't work the stitch, just slip off left needle

PSSO = Pass the slipped stitch over the one just knit

Cast on any even number  (plus desired number of edge stitches, which are not included in the instructions below)

*YO, Slip 1 K-wise, K1, PSSO*

That's it.  You will repeat this for both sides of the fabric.
