How to knit the Crocodile stitch

This is one of those special knitting patterns, a stitch you don’t see every day, that will you fall in love at first sight!

Learn How to Knit Quickly – Lesson 8: 2×2 Rib stitch
Such as the 1×1 Rib stitch that we learned last week, the 2×2 Rib stitch forms vertical stripes: One column of knits (they look like a series of “v”’s), next to another column of purls (a vertical stripe of little bumps).
