Pattern didn’t show with variegated yarn. I knit up a swatch using plain light colored yarn and was able to see pattern then.
I did this pattern with a variegated purples and it turned out very nice. You do a great job with your instruction.
I love reading through a post that will make people think.
Also, thanks for allowing for me to comment!
Thank you Johnny for posting the Rose stitch tutorial. I’m the one that asked you for it. I thought this stitch would be nice texture stitch and a good alternative to the seed or moss stitch but could never figure it out. Thanks to you now I can!
Awesome! It was a great request.
