This is a great KNIT pattern for a sleeveless baby top, with a little bit of crochet around the neck and armholes.
This was a wonderful quick project, I really needed a break from crochet and remembered this stitch from way back, way, way back CIRCA 1980 I think. My mother-in-law had knit a lovely baby cardigan using this stitch, and back then, I used the stitch to make a scarf/shawl. Obviosly it took me ages to make the scarf, maybe that's why it remained embedded in the recesses of my brain... amongst all the other useful/useless stuff stored away in those grey cells. Anyway let's get on with the pattern.
