Double Woven Stitch Cloth one of my favourites... can't you tell!!
Cast on 38 stitches using 4mm needles Rows 1-4: Knit across Row 5: k3, p32, k3 Row 6: k6, *sl 2 wyif, k2; rep from * to last 4 sts; k4 Row 7: k3, p32, k3 Row 8: k4, *sl 2 wyif, k2; rep from * to last 6 sts; sl 2 wyif, k4 Row 9: k3, p32, k3 Row 10-57: repeat rows 6-9 twelve (12) more times Row 58-60: knit across Bind off, and admire your beautiful creation! :o) Note: "sl 2 wyif" is worked like this: bring your yarn to the front, as if you were going to purl. Now slip the next 2 sts. from thee left needle to the right needle without working them, and bring your yarn to the back for the proper position for knitting the next 2 sts. This is what forms the horizontal bars all over the cloth, and what breaks up the colour blocks (known as pooling) you often get when knitting with variegated yarn.
