The Latvian Braid Washcloth is pattern #46 in the 2017 Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. This stitch is a variant of fair isle / stranded colorwork, alternating between 2 colors. The raised “braids” are created by intentionally carrying the unused color across the right side of the work in a specific way. The pattern includes photos and instructions for the technique. A more in depth video tutorial is also available on the pattern website.
