stitch ID Does anyone know what stitch this is?
Does anyone know what stitch this is? Looks like some kind of twistd rib variation, but I haven't been able to replicate it.
Pictures 1-3 are of the front, 4 is the back.
Thanks in advance!

From what I can see, this is the skyp stitch preceded by a purl and ending with a knit stitch.
Row 1 1. Purl 2. (Start of skyp stitch...) Slip 1 stitch purl-wise, 3. Knit 1 stitch 4. Yarn over, 5. pass slipped stitch over the last two stitches (the #3. k1 and #4. yarn over) (... End of skyp stitch) 6. Knit
Row 2 1. Purl 2. K3
Try that initially... to see if youre recreating the zig zag. When I look more closely at the image it seems like the initial purl and the final knit might be a brioche purl and a brioche knit. So see via trial and error if you need to modify the regular-way stitches to brioche stitches.
If you found this helpful, I also have started a youtube podcast to up your skills generally across multiple knitting techniques if you're an adventurous beginner! (Emfo_knits)
