Around my neck of the woods, seeing acres upon acres of neatly lined rows of tall stalks of corn is not a unique thing. I thought it would be wonderful to recreate those quintessential scenes of fall onto this month’s Stitchology square. Utilizing a combination of cables and ribbing, this stitch is full of texture as well as stretch, and the resulting fabric is almost identical from the front to the back!
