GAUGE
5 sts x 4 rows = 4" in Loop Knit Stitch
Save time, check your gauge.

NOTES
Rows are worked either right to left, or left to right, always with the right side of the work showing, you do not turn your project over at the end of the row. Join a new ball by pulling both the last loop of the previous ball and the first loop of the new ball through the next stitch. When you reach this doubled stitch on the next row pull the new loop through both loops as if they were one stitch.

For best results, make sure before you insert each loop into the next, there is not a “twist" in the lp. A twist will result in a less even, more open look.

STITCH GUIDE
Loop Knit: Reach through the next loop on your project, from front to back, then grab the next loop on your yarn and pull it through.

Bind off: Starting at the corner where the yarn is not attached, pass the 2nd lp into the 1st lp, then pass the 3rd lp into the 2nd lp, then the 4th lp into the 3rd, etc. all the way across.

DIRECTIONS:

With Color A, starting from the end of the yarn, count off 46 lps.
Row 1: Work a lp knit across the 46 lps from right to left.
Row 2: Without turning your project, work a lp knit across the 46 lps from left to right.
Rep Rows 1 and 2, working in this Stripe Sequence:
10 Rows Color A (12 rows total)
11 Rows Color B
12 Rows Color A
11 Rows Color B

FINISHING
Work Bind off. Cut yarn next to last lp. Use a sewing needle and thread to secure last lp.
Weave in ends using tapestry needle.
