It is sort of a narrow garter stitch line on both sides of V's all up and down the front. One on each side of center. The pattern is 23 stitches, and I think shows up best on a solid color. <o:p></o:p></p><p>The one I am now making is an all-over design, quite simple: Purl rows 1 and 3. Knit row 2; Knit four purl 2; across on fourth and sixth row with four knit at end of row. Then you can decide how many rows between designs. Then run design between the first ones: Knit 1; purl 2; knit four across. think it would look good with almost any kind of yarn. But you can readily make a small piece of it to see what you think. It is really just a 3 row design that moves back and forth to be a little more interesting. I can take a little more time to write it better if you are interested. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Headed to Arkansas tomorrow to; check on my 101-year-old mother. <o:p></o:p></p><p>BEst, <o:p></o:p></p><p>Ramona <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 1/19/2025 6:17 AM, Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>Hi Ramona.

But a good book and knitting a sweater makes me or allows me to procrastinate, I'm afraid. I also started a cover for my bar chair cushions.
