The simple, beautiful "Spikelet of Elongated Stitches" pattern is very easy to knit. It can be used as a main pattern or as a trim.
The pattern repeat is 7 stitches and 4 rows. First, knit the 6-row repeat once. Then, repeat the pattern from rows 3 to 6.
A description of the pattern for knitting with turning rows and in the round is in the video tutorial.
