Vikkel braid in contrasting colour

A Vikkel braid in contrasting colour has the appearance of a chain stitch embroidered later on stockinette, but it is in fact worked at the same time as the row.

Step 0

Work the border stitch in main colour 5MC) as indicated in the pattern. Here, I knitted 3 stitch, but it can be anything…

Step 1 : Setting up

M1L increase with the contrasting colour (CC).

Slip the stitch (CC) back onto left needle.

 

Step 2

Make a 1/1 LC cable :

  • work the 1st stitch (2nd on the left needle) in MC

 

  • Work the 2nd stitch (1st stitch on the left needle) in CC

  • drop the 2 stitches you have just worked from the left needle.

Step 3

Slip the last stitch (CC) on right needle back onto left needle.

Step 4

Repeat step 2 and 3 until you have reached your border stitches. Here, I’ve worked the vikkel braid to 3 stitches to end of row.

Step 5

Knit the next 2 stitches together in MC, then finish your row. Cut the CC yarn.
