Wheat Skirt
Have you heard of Swing Knitting? Well, here it is!
This is short-row knitting where the standard “wrap and turn” is reworked as a “turn and double stitch” manipulation to form a turn that is discreet in the finished piece, yet easily recognizable while knitting. We provide row-by-row charts and instructions to show how easy it is to insert color within your knitting.
