Stitchology 24: Barber Pole
The stitch we’ll be working up this month is wonderful for its simple symmetry and lines. The bold repeating pattern makes this a shoe-in stitch for those guys in your life! I can visualize this being used for hats, sweaters, scarves, socks, you name it!
The back of this stitch looks completely different, but very pleasing, making this ideal for possible reversible projects or ones that might be viewed from both sides.*
Items Needed
Loom: Authentic Knitting Board Adjustable Hat Loom: 2 rounded pieces + 3 peg connectors, with pegs in all holes for a 3/8” gauge. The Sock Loom 2 or the All-n-One Loom could also be used.
Yarn: approx. 75 yards Worsted Weight Wool (Sample uses Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Jade Heather) Wool is recommended for this square, as blocking is a must.
