Stitch
of the Month – April 2016
The Gooseberry Stitch is a bobble stitch that is formed by working increases in one stitch which
is then decreased back to one stitch over four rows. The resulting
effect is a heavily textured, three-dimensional design resembling gooseberries.
It is good to note that you will need more yarn than you
typically would when knitting straight stockinette stitch.

DeleteWhat skill level do you think this would fall under? Intermediate? Or advanced?
ReplyDeleteI think it would fall under intermediate. It looks more intimidating than it is - if someone can knit, purl and do yarns over they can definitely tackle this stitch pattern.
