Basketweave checks

StitcheBeginner

Alternating blocks of stockinette and reverse stockinette: reversible and almost curl-free.

Six rows of "k4, p4", then six rows the other way round.

Good to know

  • Change the block size (5 or 6 stitches) for a bolder check: keep about two more rows than stitches.
