I created this stitch pattern for the Heidi shawl, as one of the color blocks. It gives a slight ribbing feel, with a structured look. Using only knit and purl stitches, this pattern is 100% beginner friendly. And, it is adaptable to any yarn or needle. Just cast on in sets of 8 + 5 to the desired width.
