Broken Block Pattern

broken_block_right_side
Yarn: Schachenmayr Extra

Needles: 4mm (US6)
Gauge: 5.5 sts per inch over pattern, blocked

Page: 6
Comments: Even though this pattern isn’t reversible, it does have a nice basketwave-y wrong side. The different changes from purl to knit also make it difficult to keep the knit columns looking clean, which is why I have included a detail photo of where that change can be seen more clearly than in the pattern photo.
