Balloon Stitch Swatch #2

Blogging can be frustrating!  I wrote this huge article and when I went back in to edit, the post disappeared.

So, being this happened, below is a shorter post and photos of my second swatch with needle arrangement.  I used Tamm "Trenzi" for this one, I did try a cotton ladder yarn first but it did not knit up smooth.

Full Needle Rib - Then Transfer 

Stretch Out The "Dropped" Stitches No Blocking Done

Pulled Lengthwise

Pulled Widthwise
It is very simple to do and similar to drop lace.  I plan on posting the instructions soon.

This stitch would make great edging to a jacket, a baby's afghan, across the chest of a light weight "summer" sweater and there I go again...

    1. Isn't it different Barb!?! I am thinking a baby blanket with soft colors would be great with this stitch pattern. Each 8 row repeat could be done in a different color or shades of one color.

      Very easy to knit as well.
