Save this video for when you knit the Elongated Criss Cross Stitch!

This stitch appears in a few of my patterns like the latest Year of Socks design: Sock Smorgasbord! You'll also find this fun stitch in Shawl Smorgasbord and Shawlography. The new socks are knit in the round, so you will just knit the stitches instead of purling them. It’s such a fun stitch to learn! If you need a little extra help with this stitch, grab your needles and let's start knitting!
