The yarn when worked is a bit "splotchy" but it certainly ain't boring!
The panel has worked out very nicely with this two colour yarn
The panel is something I invented myself ...although with knitting I guess it's already been done in some form...it has much in common with Barbara Walker's Gull Wing Stitch.
The panel - On this occasion uses two purl stitches on each side of the six knit stitches that make the panel. It will work with minimum four knit stitches and one purl on each side...it's flexible...whatever works for you and the number of stitches you need for your socks.
Row 1
P2, Skip first stitch and Ktbl (knit into the back of the stitch) leaving the stitch on the RH needle; then slip RH needle into the front loop of the skipped stitch purl wise and slip it and the knit stitch off. So now the slipped stitch is AFTER the ktbl; K4, P2.
Rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
P2, K6, P2.
Row 3
P2, K1, skip next stitch (leave it on the needle) and Ktbl (knit into the back of the stitch) leaving the stitch on the RH needle; then slip RH needle into the front loop of the skipped stitch purl wise and slip it and the knit stitch off. So now the slipped stitch is AFTER the ktbl; K3, P2.
Row 5
P2, K2, skip next stitch (leave it on the needle) and Ktbl (knit into the back of the next stitch) leaving the stitch on the RH needle; then slip RH needle into the front loop of the skipped stitch purl wise and slip it and the knit stitch off. So now the slipped stitch is AFTER the ktbl; K2, P2.
Row 7
P2, K3, Skip next stitch (leave it on the needle) and Ktbl (knit into the back of the next stitch) leaving the stitch on the RH needle; then slip RH needle into the front loop of the skipped stitch purl wise and slip it and the knit stitch off. So now the slipped stitch is AFTER the ktbl; K1, P2.
Row 9
P2, K4, Skip next stitch (leave it on the needle) and Ktbl (knit into the back of the next stitch) leaving the stitch on the RH needle; then slip RH needle into the front loop of the skipped stitch purl wise and slip it and the knit stitch off. So now the slipped stitch is AFTER the ktbl; P2.
These 10 rows make up the pattern.
Now they're looking for a suitable loving home!
