The stitch we’ll be working up this month is wonderful for its simple symmetry and lines. The bold repeating herringbone pattern makes this a wonderful stitch for deep texture and coziness! Worked in this winter white, it makes me think of snow clad forest branches. I can visualize this being used for hats, sweaters, scarves, socks, you name it! This would also work beautifully as a companion to the smaller herringbone published in the very first Stitchology column as interesting play of texture in any project.
