slip stitch (sl st)

 

NOTES

1. The ripples formed by the pattern stitch become more evident after four or more rows have been worked.

2. To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
