The stitch pattern is called “Smocked Ribbing”, which is ribbing wrapped with the working yarn, at regular intervals. SC with slip stitch edgings = quick finishing. Celtic knot buttons mimic the cabled appearance of the stitch patterning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI used \u003cstrong\u003eIndiecita’s Baby Alpaca DK\u003c\/strong\u003e, held double throughout, but knit with a smaller needle size than would ordinarily be used.
