Fancy Stitch Combos – Purse Stitch

Instructions for working this stitch:
– Cast-on an even number of stitches
– Work every row: K1, *yo, SSK*, repeat between *s to last stitch, K1

This week we’re starting 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.
