Easy two-row repeat knit stitch, for scarves and blankets
Today, I’m sharing a lovely two-row repeat knit stitch, great for scarves, blankies, and infinite cowls. Its design creates embossed columns, with crispy and gorgeous vertical lines.

Additionally, this two-row repeat pattern stays flat all the time, so there’s no need to think about edges 😉 If you’re starting to knit, my suggestion is to get sharp tip needles. This will make everything easier; the sharp tip helps to get two stitches together, and to purl a stitch through the back loop! Believe…
