Fancy Stitch Combos – Blackberry Stitch

Instructions for working the Blackberry Stitch:
Cast-on a multiple of 4 stitches.
Rows 1 and 3 (RS): Purl
Row 2: *P3tog, (K1, P1, ktbl) into same stitch*
Row 4: *(K1, P1, ktbl) into same stitch, P3tog*
Repeat these 4 rows to desired length.
Bind-off on the RS of the work, using a normal bind-off.

This week is the fourth video in a new series called Fancy Stitch Combos. In this series I hope to demonstrate stitches that have been requested, and hopefully introduce you to some new ones that I think are pretty and useful. Feel free to drop me a note if you’d like to submit an idea for a video in this series.
