Description
In order to complete the Shingle Stitch, you have to take your basic knit and purl stitches one step further to include "knit into back of next stitch". This is quite easy. If you are not familar with this stitch, I suggest looking at some of the You Tube videos for a clear picture of exactly how to "knit into back of next stitch".
Skill level: Intermediate
10 Stitch pattern repeat.
Materials and Supplies
You can use any weight yarn along with the appropriate size needles for that particular yarn. A suggestion of needle sizes often is posted on the yarn label (wrapper).
