Today we’re going to show you how to knit this original two color pattern that looks like a brick wall. It may look complicated, but it’s actually easy for beginners, because even though you use two colors, all you need to know is how to knit and purl. Bet you weren’t expecting it to be so easy.
Just watch our video below and put your needles to work 😉

Can you imagine a sweater in such a soft and squishy texture? We knitted it using petite wool in Nude and Natural. What would you make with this stitch?
