Portcullis Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight on US 8 needles

Depending on how you plan to use this stitch, you may want to add one more more extra stitches at the beginning/end of each row to neaten things up, because in Row 2 you begin and end with a decrease.  There is also a slight curl to the edges.

Multiple of 4 + 1

Row 1: purl
Row 2: k2tog *(k1, yo, k1) into same stitch, sl 1-k2tog-psso; repeat from *, end last repeat with (k, yo, k1) into same stitch, ssk

Repeat these two rows for pattern.

Happy Knitting!
