Smocked rib knitted swatch in red. Barbara Walker book of knitting stitches in the background

I've been swatching this smocking knitting stitch trialling it for a cardi. I love the dense fabric it makes but at 32-34 stitches per 4"/10 cm, it would just take way too long, even on bigger needles. Shame! 🧶 #swatches #knitting #barbarawalker #knittingstitches

Heading down the rabbit hole of finding just the right stitches for my next accessory design. I love this part of the process (I seriously do!). Here goes! 💃🏼🧶💃🏼
