Square Circle Forum

DOGTOOTH CHECK

 

I found this stitch in a 'Simply Knitting' magazine stitch library. I knitted it in chunky yarn, on 6mm needles, casting on 27 stitches and knitting 50 rows. It makes a nice warm square.

Double stitch: insert the needle into the stitch just below the next stitch and knit, drop the unworked stitch above.

Cast on an uneven number of stitches

Row 1(RS) With yarn A, knit

Row2 Knit

Row3 With yarn B, K1 * double stitch,K1;repeat from* to end of row

Row4 Knit

Row 5 change to yarn A, K2,*double stitch, K1: repeat from* to last 2 sts, K2

Row 6 Knit

Repeat rows 3-6 to form the pattern

This is very beautiful, obviously warm and I've added it to the Patterns section as well.  Way to go and thanks so much for sharing a beautiful pattern...I am imagining a child's jumper/sweater in this...but yeah I am NOT ambitious enough to try it!

Thank you for adding this to the pattern section and the featured photos-I am thrilled it is so popular! I must admit I can see lots of possibilities for it-and it really is easy, I promise!

That looks great, Charis! This is when it pays to knit instead of crochet. :o)

Looks great when i saw picture thought it was crochet and not good at that. but when I read the pattern it is knitted looks good. I followed the link to see the tuitorial on bee hive stitch looks easy so will have to try it out.Thanks Fom jan a new member.
