Spine Stitch

Sample knit with Malabrigo worsted on US Size 10 needles

I promise, you can do this one!  You may just need a little practice first.  Please do not skip over this stitch if it seems confusing or hard.  It really isn't!  And it make such a pretty fabric!

  

Work on a multiple of 4

C2B = Cross two back: Knit second stitch on left needle through the back loop, then knit first stitch through the back loop, drop both from left needle 

C2F = Cross two front: Knit second stitch on left needle through the front loop, then knit first stitch through the front loop, drop both from left needle

Row 1: (RS) *C2B, C2F*

Row 2: Purl

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.

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.
