Two Color Granite Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn on US Size 6 needles

I do not like colorwork, and rarely do it, except for the occasional stitch video.  This is a pretty stitch, and easy even for me.  You don't have to worry about carrying the color not in use, because it is picked up again on the return row of the color in use.  Does that make sense? :0)

yfwd = bring the yarn to the front of the work
ybk = take yarn to the back of the work
Sl = slip (as if to purl)

Multiple of 2 +1

Cast on using A

Row 1 (RS): Using A - Knit
Row 2: Using B - *K1, Sl 1*, end with K1
Row 3: Using B - *K1, yfwd, Sl 1, ybk*, end with K1
Rows 4 and 5: Using A - Knit
Row 6: Using B - K1 *K1, Sl 1*, end K2
Row 7: Using B - K2 *yfwd, Sl 1, ybk, K1*, end K1
Row 8: Using A - Knit

Repeat these eight rows for the pattern.

Confetti Stitch

Sample knit with Red Heart Worsted Weight on Kollage Squares, US Size 7

Multiple of 4+2

Row 1: K1 *YO, K1, YO, SL 1, K2tog, PSSO* K1

Rows 2 and 4: Purl all stitches

Row 3: K1 *SL 1, K2tog, PSSO, YO, K1, YO* K1

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.  The edges are not so neat, you may want to add a border.

Dewdrop Stitch

Sample knit with Patons Grace cotton yarn on US size 6 needles

Pretty lacy stitch that is very easy to do!

• Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO = Slip next stitch purlwise, knit two together, pass the slipped stitch over the two knit together
• SSK = Slip, Slip, Knit - My preferred way is to slip next stitch knitwise, slip next stitch purlwise and then knit them together.  You may instead slip each knitwise, you will get the same result.  

Cast on any multiple of 6, +1

Rows 1 and 3: (Wrong Side) K2 *P3, K3*, end with P3, K2

Row 2: P2 *K3, P3*, end with K3, P2

Row 4: K2 *YO, Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO, YO, K3*, end with YO, Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO, YO, K2

Rows 5 and 7: P2 *K3, P3*, end with K3, P2

Row 6: K2 *P3, K3*, end with P3, K2

Row 8: K2tog *YO, K3, YO, Sl 1-K2tog-PSSO*, end with YO, K3, YO, SSK

Repeat these 8 Rows for the pattern

This fabric lays flat, but the edges are pretty ugly.  I would add a border, or at the very least, add an extra stitch to each side and slip for neat edges.

And here is the video.  Enjoy, and Happy Knitting!
