Row 1 and all odd rows (RS): k Row 2: k3, k2tog, yo, k2tog, (yo, k1) twice Row 4:   k2, (k2tog, yo) twice, k3, yo, k1 Row 6:   k1, (k2tog, yo) twice, k5, yo, k1 Row 8:   k3, (yo, k2tog) twice, k1, k2tog, yo, k2tog Row 10:   k4, yo, k2tog, yo, k3tog, yo, k2tog Row 12:   k5, yo, k3tog, yo, k2tog

While looking at the front of your work, pick up and knit 7 stitches along the left side of the diamond, then using the knitted cast on, cast on 8. - 16 sts in all Repeat the 14 rows above. You can knit a strip like this and use it as an edging. I am making a baby hat this way and will post the final result when ready! Tweet

I really cant write patterns..and my crochet is not that great but here is a pattern for a scarf i made.

I thought i would start posting knitting stitches for beginners. Today its the Basket Weave Stitch. This is a combination of knit and purl - very easy and very effective. The amount of stitches used has to be a multiple of 8 + 5 Row 1:(RS) k Row 2: k5, *p3, k5; rep from * Row 3: p5, *k3, p5; rep from * Row 4: Rep Row 2 Row 5: k Row 6: k1, *p3, k5; rep from *; end p3, k1 Row 7: p1, *k3, p5; rep from *; end k3, p1 Row 8: Rep Row 6 Abbreviations: RS - right side P - purl K- knit rep - repeat Now heres a good TIP! Slip the first stitch of every row regardless of what your pattern says. This is how to knit a nice, finished edge on both sides of your work, instead of that bumpy edge you would normally get.

This stitch was kindly submitted by Marilyn of  Marelle  . Chevron Lace Stitch from Mon Tricot Knitting Dictionary (1963) knit in "Aran" worsted weight. Multiple of 6 stitches. Row 1: *K1, yo, K2, K2tog, K1; rep from * Rows 2 & 4: Purl Row 3: *K1, K2tog, K2, yo, K1; rep from Abbreviations: yo - yarn over K - knit tog - together

This is a useful stitch if you want a reversible pattern. Use a multiple of 9 stitches Row 1 (RS): k4, *p1, k8; rep from * to last 5 sts, p1, k4 Row 2: p3, *k3, p6; rep from * to last 6 sts, k3, p3 Row 3: k2, *p5, k4; rep from * to last 7 sts, p5, k2 Row 4: p1, *k7, p2; rep from * to last 8 sts, k7, p1 Row 5: P Row 6: Rep Row 4 Row 7: Rep Row 3 Row 8: Rep Row 2
