The way the stitches interlock creates this mesmerizing pattern that is both classic and modern. I fell in love with it when I tried it for the first time – there is something so satisfying about watching those little Vs stack up. It is my go-to when I want to create something with a touch of elegance, whether it is a warm blanket or a chic scarf.
