Knit Aster Stitch
Knit Aster Stitch is such a pretty, summery stitch that looks a lot more complicated than it is. Worked over a multiple of 6 stitches +1 and 9 rows, the stitch resembles flowers framed by garter stitch. Perfect for throws, scarves, shawls it also makes an interesting border on a plain cardigan or pullover.
Knit here in ColourSpun Pure Cotton DK on 4mm knitting needles, it works just as well with any weight yarn. Worked in one colour it creates interesting texture but using 2 will show up the flower pattern beautifully. I used a plain colour for the garter stitch rows and a multi-dyed Unique for the flowers.
