Crossroads Knitting Stitch
Simple knitting pattern to make a crossroads design using knit and purl stitches. This is not a difficult pattern but some experience is needed. I think it would make a wonderful blanket or lapgan.
Our sample was knitted with worsted weight yarn and size 8 needles. You could make squares from different colors of yarn and sew them together for a patchwork style afghan.
