Knit with Aabhar – Tear Drop Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Tear Drop stitch is an interesting textured knitting pattern featuring ‘tear drop’ motifs arranged throughout the knitted fabric. What makes this fun and slightly tricky is you need to make one stitch into five stitches by knitting and purling into the same stitch.

You can feature this knitting stitch in any project, be it a simple washcloth or a blanket. The Tear Drop pattern will give it a gorgeous appearance.
