Very easy and pretty textured knitting pattern. This free knitting stitch is simple yet created quite a complicated looking effect. Reminiscent of rainy days with large raindrops falling from the skies and also like the first buds of spring.

This is a great stitch for children garments, scarves, hats and beanies. Love the playful feel to this.
