Reversible Shadow Chevron knitting stitch pattern
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn a gorgeous knitting stitch: The Reversible Shadow Chevron; an elegant pattern, full of advantages:
Identical on both sides, it doesn’t curl, it has a lovely texture to it, and unisex; the perfect shadow knitting option for scarves, infinite cowls, blankets, or even a table runner.
The Reversible Shadow Chevron is so easy to knit; if you can knit and purl, you can do it! There are no extra techniques needed (no increases, decreases, slipped stitches, etc.).
Let’s get started!

CO multiples of 12 + 2; i.e.: 12 * 2 = 24 + 2= 26 stitches.
1º row: K1, *P5, K1, P1, K5*. Repeat from * to *, until last st, K1.
2º row: K1, *P4, K2, P2, K4*. Repeat from * to *, until last st, K1.

These eight rows form the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached.
