Stitchology 13: Zig Zag Eyelet Rib Square
I’ve been pleased as punch with the way this month’s stitch turned out…so pretty and delicate. The best part is that it is so very easy to accomplish, with only four rows to repeat…nice! This stitch is also in the ribbing family, which makes it extremely elastic if you find yourself in need of a lacy design for a hat, socks, or a banded trim. The body of a sweater worked this way would be absolutely breathtaking! :) But for now, let’s learn this pretty design while whipping up an afghan square…
In this monthly column we’re going to be working on some exciting new stitch patterns, as well as a few new techniques thrown in for good measure. My intention for our yarn play is to provide all the know-how for you to be able to work the new stitch; any charts, photos, or videos you may need; as well as a pattern to create an 8” x 8” square. As we go along in our looming journey, we should be able to create lovely pieced afghans with our squares, as I like to know that we’re going somewhere while swatching, don’t you? You can think of it as our Stitch Sample Afghan—a stitch dictionary right at your fingertips, keeping your legs warm, lol. ;)
