The knitted version of this craft along uses a variation of a classic stitch pattern known as Old Shale stitch. The complex-looking design is surprisingly easy to knit - it’s just a combination of knit, yarn over and k2tog stitches. There’s absolutely no purling!

This pattern features in Issue 1 of Your Crochet & Knitting, which is on sale from 5th July in supermarkets, newsagents and craft stores across the UK. Find your nearest UK stockist here. Copies can also be ordered from MoreMags.
