Teaching myself one new knit stitch a week, from the Complete Guide to Needlework book, c. 1979.
I used size 8 needles, and cast on 11 stitches in Vanna's Choice yarn in Eggplant.
Rows 1 and 3: Purl
Row 2: *P 3 tog, KPK into next st *, P3 tog
Row 4: *KPK into first st, P 3 tog*, KPK into last st
I was looking for a bobble-type stitch that was easy to work - I get lost in complicated instructions, I'm hopeless at keeping track of them. This stitch was it - super easy, once you know the basics. I think I'd love to knit this up as a blanket or hat pattern.
I recommend this youtube video if you'd like an excellent visual demonstration.
