Sandy Stitches

Sand Stitch is the perfect stitch for people who like the look of purls but who don't want to actually have to do a lot of purling.

The stitch pattern is actually the wrong side of another stitch pattern called Dot Stitch. Both are good looking patterns, but Sand Stitch shows lots of prominent purls without having to actually purl a lot of stitches.

This stitch would be great for a sweater, but since both sides look good, though not at all the same, it would also make an interesting scarf or block in an afghan.
