My Mom knitted this sample for me 15 years ago and I wrote down her instructions. Every time I try to make it it WON"T come out. She called it a “BUBBLE stitch” NOT to be confused with a BOBBLE stitch which it is NOT. In between the columns of the bubbles are 2 purled stitches. I started with 30 stitches and ended up with 47. I can no longer ask my Mom for help for she has Alzheimer’s and no one else but me in my family knits. I would really like to figure this stitch out so I can make her a sweater with it and surprise her. She gave me the follinwing instructions in makeing this stitch:
-
row one, Knit 2 purl 2 & repeat all the way across
-
row two, Purl 2 knit 2 & repeat all the way across
-
row three, KNIT 2 PURL 1 y/O PURL 1 & repeat all the way across
-
row four, KNIT 3 PURL 2 & repeat all the way across
-
row five, PURL 3 KNIT 2 and cross on 3rd & repeat all the way across
Here is a pic of the sample she knit. Notice that there are 2 purled stitches between the columns of bubbles. It looks like a fancy ribbing. On the right side there are columns of bubbles as the ribbing while on the wrong side there is plain ribbing. If anyone out there knows how to do this stitch. ESPECIALLY the crossover. Please help!! I’d be Forever in your debt.Thank-you.
Always a friend,
