New square

Here's another square that I made up using the Vogue stitch a day calendar. The stitch was taken from the June 4, 2012 page, and it's called "Granite Relief Stitch."

Granite Relief Stitch 12" Square

I made up another square for the Gateway Theatre Knit and Purl charity event. The pattern is for a 12" square, and uses the granite relief stitch, which I found in the Vogue Knitting Stitch a Day Calendar.

Materials: 

DK weight yarn (mine was 70% acrylic, 30% wool)

5.5mm knitting needles

Granite Relief Stitch is worked over multiple of 2 stitches; over 4 rows:

Row 1 (RS): knit

Row 2: k2tog across row

Row 3: kfb across

Row 4: purl

Repeat rows 1 - 4

Pattern: 

Cast on 60

Knit 5 rows of garter stitch (knit every row); begin pattern:

R1: knit all sts

R2: k5, k2tog to last 5 sts, k5

R3: k5, kfb to last 5 sts, k5

R4: k5, purl to last 5 sts, k5

Repeat these four rows until piece measures 11 1/2 inches from beginning

Knit 5 rows of garter stitch.

Cast off, weave in ends - done!

Note: I make no claims to this beautiful stitch, it's from Vogue. I just wanted to share what I did. Hope you enjoy!
