This was just made with crochet thread. I think it was a size 20. I had such fun making a stitch and then dropping it several rows further on. It’s a fun stitch to do. The first time I had to drop that stitch and watch it ravel down, I thought I’d have a heart attack. However, it never goes beyond where you made it to begin with, so it’s a controlled ravel. Although it doesn’t look like it in the photo, it does make an openwork fabric, and I had to be careful what I wore under it. Once it’s on the body, it does stretch out and open up. If you’re interested in this stitch, The Knitting Fiend has a good description of it and a pattern for the stitch at this site. [...] […] This is a vertical drop stitch sweater I knitted.
