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.*
