Introduction
This week #3, I have a very easy stitch pattern for you from my vintage 1970’s stitch patterns collection. Hope you have just as much fun with this week’s stitch SUMMER Arches as you had with last week’s Crazy Vee.
This SUMMER ARCHES stitch pattern is really simple, once you start you won’t be able to put it down, it is ever so easy, and BEST of all you can change colour in any row.
Materials List
For the instruction photos I used Hayfield Baby Chunky by Sirdar so you can see the stitches a bit better.
However, my preference for this stitch pattern is Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton DK, (I have included some photos of the cotton samples).
Naturally, for this stitch pattern, you can use any thickness yarn or thread you have to hand.
