Herringbone linen stitch

My own take on the swatch shown here. I suppose one could do purling instead of slipped stitches, for a less dense fabric. And please note that for flat knitting, it would be a six-row repeat, and require an extra stitch column for symmetry, along with selvedge stitches.

Shown with a cast-on count of 16 stitches.   Getting chart...

  • Round 2: *K1, sl1 wyif, k2, sl1 wyif, k2, sl1 wyif, repeat from *.
  • Round 3: *K2, sl1 wyif, k3, sl1 wyif, k1, repeat from *.
