Tassel Stitch Knitting Pattern

The Tassel Stitch Knitting Pattern creates a beautiful texture of alternating rows. It is a 12-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern and an intermediate-level project.

This design is a great choice for knitting up textured blankets, scarves, and pillows.

This is not a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design, but you can see that the wrong (back) side does not. 

Get all of your materials, techniques, with written and charted pattern instructions, both flat on straight needles and in the round on circular needles below.
