Shingle Knitting Stitch
In order to complete the Shingle Stitch, you have to take your basic knit and purl stitches one step further to include "knit into back of next stitch". This is quite easy. If you are not familar with this stitch, I suggest looking at some of the You Tube videos for a clear picture of exactly how to "knit into back of next stitch".
