Leaf Stitch Knitting Pattern
How to knit Leaf Stitch:
Work with multiple of 12 stitches + 5 + 2 edge stitches.
Cast on 19 sts (12 + 5 + 2 edge sts) and work according to chart.
The chart shows only Right Side Rows.
On WS rows, work sts as they appear and yo's P.
The patt rep = 12 sts wide.
Begin with 1 edge st, work patt rep throughout, end with 5 sts after patt and 1 edge st.
The number of stitches varies within 24 rows of pattern repeat.
