I love a stitch pattern that looks more complicated than it really is. I also am always on the lookout for a project to use up my large stash of variegated yarn. This fun 2-round chevron stitch is easy to memorize, plus it doesn’t get lost in a hand painted or self striping yarn. In fact, it enhances color changes and minimizes pooling in yarns that are prone to it.
I hand dyed the skein of Patons Classic Wool used in the sample, and can dye it to order in my Etsy shop.
