Flight of the Bumblebee

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn, US 6 needles

This stitch has a bit of curl to it, so depending on how you plan to use it, you may want to consider adding a border and edging to help it lay flat and neaten up the edges.

Vertical Eyelets

This is a quick and easy stitch that looks lovely in just about any weight yarn.  The above samples were knit in worsted (top) and fingering (bottom).

Since this is a stocking stitch based pattern, there will be some curling to your fabric.  Depending on how you plan to use the stitch, you may want to consider adding a border, like Garter Stitch as I have done in the top sample.  Seed Stitch would also work well.  A border will help prevent curling of the fabric.

Multiple of 5 + 3

Row 1 (RS): p3 *p2tog, yo, p3
Rows 2 and 4: knit
Row 3: p3 *yo, p2tog, p3

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.
