This week’s swatch is Drop-stitch Honeycomb from the Second Treasury.
I like the right side fine, I guess. The wrong side is really cool though, so much so that I hesitate to call it the wrong side.
It has a really cool bumpy, quilted-looking texture. I think it would be really neat in a tailored jacket, or as a more subtle texture in a garment like Surface.
The pattern is easy to work, too. Five rows out of six are plain stockinette, and the texture is created by dropping stitches and picking up the threads every sixth row. The dropping maneuver is a little fiddly at first, but it’s fine once you get used to it.
Oooh that is cool! I like the “wrong” side better too!
I think I agree as well. I love the subtle texture of the “wrong” side.
That’ s pretty. I think I favor the “wrong” side…
Well, you’ve done it. I definitely am going to have to order the treasuries now. 🙂
The “wrong” side reminds me a fish scales. Love it. 🙂
I also like the wrong side. It looks less like the wrong side than the right side!
What a cool pattern! I’m enjoying your swatches; I’ve never seen most of these before.
Thanks for your previous post and the “best of” list. It *has* been quiet in blogland lately.
Ooh, pretty! Thanks for sharing this swatch!
Could you please make a video of how to do the row 6 especially the drop stitch and purpling of the picking and purling of the stitch and the 5 strands. I would greatly appreciate it. Many thanks
Where do you buy the pattern from?
