CAT'S EYE STITCH

STITCH OF THE MONTH - July 2014
The Cat's Eye Stitch is a reversible openwork pattern. The beauty of the stitch is the textured mesh that is created produced through a simple three row pattern repeat. 

The stitch pattern creates a durable mesh that has a lot of lengthwise stretch.  It would work well for shawls, scarves, afghans, baby blankets or beach bags. It can also be worked as a complimentary openwork design together with an intricate lace pattern.
