Saturday Stitch - Ladder Stitch

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. Today I knitted the ladder stitch for the stitch of the week. It is a simple pattern and it ends up looking similar to basket weave with  the squares of knit and purl. There is the row of knit stitches which separates the boxes which creates the design of the "ladder". This stitch can add some nice texture to a project. It was a quick and easy knitting pattern and fun to try out!

Pattern: 

Multiples of 8+ 5. (I cast on 13 for this swatch)

Row 1(RS): K5, *p3, k5; rep from * to end.

Row 2: P5, *k3, p5; rep from the * to end. 

Row 3 and 4: Rep the last two rows once more.

Row 5: K1, *p3, k5; rep from * to last 4 sts, p3, k1.

Row 6: P1, *k3,p5; rep from * to last 4 sts k3, p1.

Row 7 and 8: Rep the last 2 rows once more.

Rep these 8 rows.
