LEARN A NEW STITCH!

FREE PATTERN – KNIT

Today’s stitch is Feather Openwork.  As the name suggests, this pattern is somewhat of an open weave; making it a perfect choice for a dishcloth.  It would also make a lovely cardigan or afghan. As always, the stitches within the stitch markers make up the pattern. I knit 3 stitches on each side for the borders.
