ANDALUSIAN STITCH

STITCH OF THE MONTH - June 2015
The Andalusian stitch is a simple pattern that adds a subtle depth and texture to an otherwise plain stockinette stitch. I particularly like using the Andalusian stitch when knitting with a variegated yarn to add a soft but effective texture to the fabric.

Andalusia is a region in Spain where the stitch may have been named for or where the stitch may have originated.
