Mossy Border

This border pattern works great when combined with a Stockinette stitch background, a subtle texture, or a bobble-strewned background. The bottom ribbing is designed to allow the next pattern to flow into it without interruption. You can choose to work Moss stitch between the arches, or reverse Stockinette stitch for a more pronounced pattern.

Multiple of 10 sts + 3; rep of 24 rows

Begin by working in rib pattern for desired number of rows by repeating the following two rows:
Rib Row 1: * K 3, p 2; rep from * k 3.
Rib Row 2: * P 3, k 2; rep from * across, p3. Rep Rib Rows 1 and 2 twice more.

Then, begin working pattern stitch as follows:
Row 1 (RS): K 4, * (p 1, k 1) twice, p 1 **, k 5; rep from * across, end last rep at **, k4.
Row 2: P 4, * (k 1, p 1) twice, k 1 **, p 5; rep from * across, end last rep at **, p 4.
Row 3: K 3, * (p1, k1) 3 times, p 1, k 3; rep from * across. Row 4: P 3, * (k 1, p 1) 3 times, k 1, p 3; rep from across.
Rows 5 and 6: Rep Rows 1 and 2.
Rows 7 and 8: Rep Rows 3 and 4.
Rows 9 and 10: Rep Rows 1 and 2.
Row 11: K 2, * yo, ssk, (k1, p1) twice, k 1, k2 tog, yo, k 1; rep from * across, k 1.
