Description

From the book: "The three-and-one pattern, on a multiple of 4 sts plus 3, is very familiar to anyone who has worked extensively with slip-stitches, as so many slip-stitch patterns use this form. The 'basic' given here yields a heavy, dense fabric, with a nubby texture, good for jackets, coats, and windbreakers, etc. Because it is so compressed vertically it requires a large number of rows to reach a given length."

Randi knit this swatch while sitting in her serene backyard and considering her next project. Her favorite project is always the one they are working on! She started a stitching group in her community that brings together women who share a common interest. They stitch and schmooze!
