Question...

I'm going to start writing the pattern for my Gold Hand Knitted Fluted Collar Cardigan, and I can't decide on what stitch to use for it. I used stocking stitch for the Red Hand Knitted Half Sleeve Sweater, but it seems too plain to use for a whole cardigan, especially since I won't be using any rib knitting anywhere.




















From right to left, the stitches are: Rice, Bamboo, Seed, and Stocking (the needles/pen mark the stitch changes). The image is flipped on its side, so tilt your head to the right when you're looking at it. The colors are also completely wrong; the yarn is actually a bright, mustardy yellow. I have no idea why my phone came up with this color...

I quite like the Bamboo stitch, especially because I could combine it with Stocking stitch easily and spread it out, although I think the Rice stitch is cute too (although, maybe too bumpy?)

What do you think?

    I really like the seed, but I have a hard time imagining the whole cardigan in any of the designs entirely. Which did you choose?

    I haven't yet... I'm still considering. I think I might have to knit bigger test squares.
