I wanted a textured motif with knit and purl stitches only – something easy to knit but which also held my interest. I came up with this motif with knit columns and sections of reverse stockinette alternating with sections of double moss stitch. The resulting pattern looks like furrowed fields, so I called it Sulas which is Old English for “a measure of land; a furrow”.
