Instructions: This stitch is made by pulling up a loop between stitches. Note that each stitch is made up of a front and back vertical bar. When you pull up a loop, you don’t pull up a loop between the front and back vertical bars of the same stitch. That would be a knit stitch. You pull up a bar in between the stitches themselves.
