Leaf Stitch Knitting Pattern

How to knit Leaf Stitch:

Work with multiple of 20 stitches + 3 + 2 edge stitches.

Cast on 25 sts (3 + 20 + 2 edge sts) and work according to chart.

The chart shows Right Side and Wrong Side rows.

The numbers at right edge of chart indicate RS rows, and at left edge WS rows.

Read RS rows from right to left, WS rows from left to right.

The patt rep = 20 sts wide.

The number of stitches varies within 8 rows of pattern repeat.
