Blanket Rib Stitch

Sample knit with Malabrigo Worsted on US Size 10 needles

I love how this stitch looks in the Malabrigo worsted!  This little sample was so soft and squishy in my hands; what a wonderfully snuggly throw this stitch would create in Malabrigo worsted.  

Work on a multiple of 2 + 1

Row 1: (RS) Kfb in each stitch    (knit into front and back of same stitch)
Row 2: K2tog *P2tog, K2tog*

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.  Super easy, super fast.

Crow's Foot Stitch

Sample knit with Caron Spa on US Size 6 needles


This is very similar to Bamboo or Wrapped Stitch; the only difference is that you are passing a slipped stitch over the knit stitches instead of a yarn over.
