Bonus Chart

Here's a chart for the pattern I used on the hat in my last post. It's a six stitch repeat, but I've included two repeats so you can better see how it comes together.



I just pulled this out of my head as I worked, and only made the chart for the purposes of this post. But this is not to say it's an original design. I've seen that little motif (and variations of it) many times in collections of Scandinavian and Baltic color knitting patterns. I expect it's been used in weaving and embroidery as well. It's so easy to do and easy to remember that it probably counts as a genuine "folk" motif. I'm just passing it along.
