Time to clear off some space on my desk again.
- Textured Horizontal Stripe II - attractive reversible stripes.
- Knot and Swag - produces a dense, reversible fabric. The sides are mirror images of each other.
- Dot and Dashes - simple two-color pattern with raised dots and dashes.
- Little Butterfly - this is another version of the bowtie family of patterns.
- Odin’s Eagles - large mosaic pattern
- Cross-Rib Stripes - simple, reversible pattern.
- Roll-over Reversible - primitive reversible pattern.
- String of Beads - watch the guage on this one; it draws in a lot.
- Knit Two Purl Two Ribbing Double Row Method - Simple reversible stripes.
- Two-color Mock Rib - looks like a rib, acts like a rib; not much mock about it. Reversible.
- Knit Three Purl Three Rib - representative of the basic ribbing patterns.
- Quilted Lattice - simple to make member of the quilt stitch pattern family.
- Lovely Lace - this pattern is somewhere between the arrowhead pattern family and the leaf lace family.
- Little Lace Diamonds - the diamond motif is subtle.
- Ringwood - this is a broken rib type of pattern.
- Mock Moss - this produces a much denser, sturdy fabric than the ordinary moss stitch.
- Knit Two Purl Tow Ribbing Single Row Method - reversible rib, simple to work.
- Two-Color Plaited Basketweave - makes a dense fabric; tends to curl.
- Broken Stocking I - simple pattern with raised horizontal dashes.
- Wedges - simple to make, low key texture.
- Basket and Garter - simple, block pattern.
- Fastened Diamonds - large, easy lace panel.
- Houndstooth Check - worked in a Fair Isles manner, carrying both colors along on each row.
- Purl-twist Knot - produces an attactive textured pattern.
- Argyle - worked in a Fair Isles manner, carrying both color along on each row. This method works for the Houndstooth Check listed above because the pattern is small. On the Argyle, the unworked color has to be carried along a bit too far. I prefer to work argyle patterns with bobbins, even though bobbins present their own management problems.
- Tile II - this makes a dense fabric. When I look at the pattern, it makes me think of electrical wall outlets.
- Two Color Waffle - this produces a fabric that has depth, but is not too dense.
- Textured Horizontal Stripes III - the stripe in this reversible pattern is a subdued effect.
- Single Knit One Purl One Rib - very basic reversible pattern.
- Textured Horizontal Stripes IV - simple reversible pattern
- See the Light - this is one of those two-color textures that seems to play with the light, somewhat like some of the shadow patterns do.
- Teepees - this produces a dense, tight fabrc.
- Parasol Rows - this pattern is interesting because it ends up producing vertical stripes of color even though all the management of color in the working of the stitch is done horizontally.
- Dip-Stitch Check - this is a simple representative of the dip stitch family of patterns.
- Cross-Color Stripe - this produces an attractive vertical pattern.
- Double Stockinette I - this is a very dense fabric. It will stretch horizontally by not very much vertically. When you stretch it horizontally, it will try to return to its original dimension.
- Dotted Diamond - this is a large pattern in the mosaic pattern family.
- Dotted Block - this is a simple stitch that produces a strong geometry.
- Triple Stripes - this is similar to the mosaic patterns.
- Feather and Fan - this is one of my favorite lace patterns. It is easy to remember and work. It produces a pleasing fabric. The edge is scalloped.
- Harlequin - this is a mosaic pattern. I realized afterward that I made a mistake in the second repeat of the pattern in the stitch index. I need to rework it later; for now the picture still conveys the appearance of the pattern.
- Long-Slip Textured - dense fabric that curls.
- Shadow Check - loose fabric.
- Woven Stitch I - this is one of the linen weave patterns.
- Woven Diagonal Herringbone - simple slip stitch pattern that produces diagonal pattern.
- Duet - this is a lace and rib pattern.
- Woven Diamond - slip stitch pattern that produces a double diamond pattern.
- Flowers in Squares - this uses a cluster stitch to make the ‘flower.’
