Here is the swath for August:

August 2019 Swatch – Two Color Mock Rib

Copyright © Janet Nogle 2018

Materials: You can use a light and dark color yarn. This swatch is more about color than a pattern or stitch.  Partial skein of a light color & partial skein of a dark color of cotton yarn and a size #6 or #7 US needle. I used Yellow & Blue.

NOTES:  B2= Knit 2 stitches (Border stitches). When using two colors in this way, let one color run along side the project till in use again. Drop that color and start using the alternate color again.

Cast On:  Multiple of even number of stitches plus 4 for the borders. I used 20 + 4 stitches for the borders = 24 stitches.

Border:

Row 1:           With dark color, knit across.

Row 2:           With dark color, knit across.

Pattern:

Row 1:           With dark color Knit.

Row 2:           With dark color B2, K2, *Sl 1 (WYIB), K1; repeat from *, end B2.

Row 3:           Add light color by attaching at the beginning of the row, (leaving the dark color run up the side) when not in use, let light color lay at the end of the row, no need to cut. Knit across.

Row 4:           With light color, B2, K2, *Sl 1 (WYIB), K1; repeat from *, end B2.

Repeat rows 1-4 till desired length, I repeated 9 more times, repeat rows 1-2 one more time.

Border:

Row 1:           With dark color knit.

Row 2:           With dark color knit.

Bind off in pattern.

Weave in ends.
