Here we are with another knit stitch to learn together. It's called the fabric stitch and we like it because it's so compact that it looks like a piece of fabric woven with a Jacquard loom. We envisage it being perfect for a summer tank top to wear over a skirt, perhaps full-length. However, it could also be an idea to make a clutch, taking care of lining it to make it more stable.
The yarn chosen for this stitch is Cleopatra. In cotton and linen, it’s very light. On our store you can find all the colours of the collections. Here we have opted for the shade of Dusk.
Let’s get into it!
